accessing wlan without non-free firmware?
Hi,
I struggled to get 4965 wireless working on my TravelMate 6592, and
succeeded only once having installed firmware-iwlwifi from non-free.
Is there a way to achieve this without going the non-free route?
Here's the relevant line from "lspci -v":
06:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or
AGN [Kedron] Network Connection (rev 61)
Subsystem: Intel Corporation Device 1101
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 218
Memory at c8000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K]
Capabilities: <access denied>
Kernel driver in use: iwl4965
Kernel modules: iwl4965
