hey,
so I have an old (by present standards) netbook, specifically
Samsung N145 Plus
I've got Hare's version of Trinity Desktop on it; having some trouble
getting wifi to work. I get the old 'no wireless extensions' problem.
I've got wireless-tools installed and firmware-wifi; backports for
squeeze set up in sources.list.
if I do "sudo /sbin/modprobe iwlagn" the driver seems to load and
dmesg tells me stuff about khz and antenna gain, etc.
still nothing shows in iwconfig or wicd.
wifi works on this machine: opensuse, netrunner, some other stuff,
catches it easily.
I wonder if this is a kernel issue? it's got 2.6.32-5-686.
suggestions welcome.
(the wireless hardware is identified as centrino wireless-n 100).
