For kernels 2.6.38+, you can use 8.83.5.1-1. Is there a subdirectory 'iwlwifi-5000-ucode-5.4.A.11' in /lib/firmware/ ? I'm asking because the vanilla sys-kernel/linux-firmware does not create such a subdirectory. This is what is listed here: $ ls -la /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-5000* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 345008 Jun 27 08:58 /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-5000-1.ucode -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 353240 Jun 27 08:58 /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-5000-2.ucode -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 340696 Jun 27 08:58 /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-5000-5.ucode Does dmesg reveal anything untoward in the kernel failing to find or load this firmware? Also, make sure the wireless NIC is enabled in the BIOS and powered up by toggling the appropriate Fn key combo, e.g. Fn+F5 or whatever it is on your laptop. --nextPart4245881.LvFx2qVVIh Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
