    I saw some commits to the wireless driver that discussed interrupt workarounds for hardware bugs, and I suspected something like this, because of these syslog entries, which I don't see any more:
    Heck yeah. I saw that too, but using the "irqpoll" kernel option eliminated the missed interrupt hiccup, although wmaster0 remained dead.

    I suspect they did something more than some interrupt work...

    That's great news though!

    Oke so I followed your steps.
    Indeed after that the device was finally reconized.
    But it was still disabled.
    This was because it could not load the driver

    Code:
    Aug 25 21:43:06 slipie-vaio kernel: [  342.149093] ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:05:00.0[A] -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IRQ 18
    Aug 25 21:43:06 slipie-vaio kernel: [  342.149170] PM: Writing back config space on device 0000:05:00.0 at offset 1 (was 100002, writing 100006)
    Aug 25 21:43:06 slipie-vaio firmware_helper[6847]: main: error loading '/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-5000-1.ucode' for device '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.2/0000:05:00.0/firmware/0000:05:00.0' with driver '(unknown)'
    So by simply copying iwlwifi-5000-1.ucode from /lib/firmware/2.6.24-19-generic/iwlwifi-5000-ucode-5.4.A.11/ to /lib/firmware and reloading the driver it finally worked!

    Thnx a lot!

    Hi,

    i followed wolframarnold and ur steps and finally makes my 5100 work!

    thank you very much

    my laptop is Thinkpad T400 with Intel wifi 5100

    Best wishes!

    @Kyle

    well, got a problem here.

    i followed wolframarnold steps and i cant make compat-wireless.

    here:

    Code:
    root@ayberk-laptop:/usr/src/compat-wireless-2.6-old-2008-09-04# make

    make: *** [modules] Error 2
    i looked inside the compat-autoconf.h and result: "You need git to generate compat-release file"

    and i want to add lshw -c results:

    Do you know - with any certainty - what network chips your laptop uses?

    This thread is focusing on the Intel Pro 5100AGN wireless chip. As of this post, there is no resolution for Hardy (8.04) yet, other than some one-shot successes followed by epic failures.

    Maybe the 5100AGN is bipolar.

    If your laptop uses a newer Marvell Technology ethernet (wired) chip, you can get instructions on getting it working from the Marvell website as I indicated above.

    If you aren't comfortable with command-line Linux, and find it difficult to adapt to nested and threaded frustrations, then perhaps the combination of leading-edge hardware and leading-edge software is not where you want to be ..... cuz this is what The Leading Edge looks and feels like. It can be as frustrating as it can be rewarding. So, suck it up, go read the specs on your laptop, then write me a 5100AGN driver that works!
    Okie Doke, lemme just get my genius cap on! lol I have no problem with upgrading to the new intrepid stuff, its just one more frustration that all I get from the live cd is a black screen. I'm sure I can work this one out. I'm in contact with Marvell about their driver, coz it sux. It doesn't work properly. I've followed your instructions and theirs and it still doesn't want to work...

    As for wifi, I need to ethernet working before I can try pointing my repos anywhere. I really don't want to swap this laptop coz this keyboard is soooo cool! such a satisfying clack!

    Cheers for all your help guys. I'll carrying on crusading for 5100agn support!

    Re: Intel Wireless Wifi Link 5100 on Hardy

    I've been following this thread for a couple days now but just wanted to chime in to see sort of where thinga are at.

    It appears that using the 2.6.27-rc2 Kernel (32-bit) was sufficient, correct? Most of the other problems have had to do with 64-bit systems?

    FYI: Running Dell Latitude e6500 with Intel Wifi 5100, NVIDIA 160M gfx and Hardy Heron

    Yes, I had the same issue. The compat-wireless stuff has changed. The following information supersedes my previous post.

    The really good news is that I GOT WIRELESS WORKING for the COMPAL JHL90 under the 64-bit Kubuntu Hardy 2.4.24 stock kernel with the latest compat-wireless download, which I hadn't been able to do previously (my previous success required custom-compiling the latest 2.6.27 kernel. Read on:

    They now consider the 2.6.24 kernels "old" and you need the compat-wireless-2.6-old.tar.bz2 download. The compat-wireless page has been updated accordingly.

    Once you got that file, untar it as follows, and it'll create a source tree dated with today's date, as of this writing 9/4/08:
    Code:
    sudo su
    cd /usr/src
    compat-wireless-2.6-old.tar.bz2
    cd compat-wireless-2.6-old-2008-09-04
    As in the previous post, you still need to hand edit config.mk and add:
    Code:
    CONFIG_IWL5000=y
    CONFIG_IWLWIFI_RFKILL=y
    Now follow the instructions in previous post to download the firmware.

    Now you can run:
    Code:
    make
    sudo make install
    sudo make load
    And hopefully your device is now recognized by the system and by Ubuntu/Kubuntu's wireless desktop tools.
    Code:
    sudo lshw -C network
      *-network

    Re: Intel Wireless Wifi Link 5100 on Hardy

    If you are feeling adventurous, you can now also get intrepid alpha 4, it will contain the 2.6.27 kernel after an update (It will probably be in the alpha 5 that is scheduled for release just about now).

    You know, I got it working once, but then after reboot, same dilemma. I got it back to work with running "make unload" and "make load" again, but the changes don't stick.

    My advice is wait for the next Intrepid Alpha release. The kernel support for the 5100 driver on the Compal JHL90 platform just came in on 9/3/08 to the kernel repository.

    Or compile the latest kernel with latest snapshot patches (works for me for now).
