The one relevant package for 4965 seems to be "firmware-iwlwifi"
(from non-free). With linux-image-2.6.22-1-k7, I can "modprobe mac80211".
It looks like maybe the iwl4965 driver is not in the mainline kernel and does
not have a debian package at this time.
http://intellinuxwireless.org/index.php?n=Downloads does not list a
package for debian. You may have to compile it or wait a while.
