Hi,
I just switched to Sid, in order to have the iwl4965 kernel module and
its deps.
I just updated it to the latest on the 'fr' Debian repos (I am in
France), but when I "modprobe iwl4965" or "modprobe mac80211", the
module is unknown.
I am running the Sid 2.6.22 kernel, on amd64 arch.

What tips can you give me?
I dont want to "make; make install", just use debian packaged software.

Thank you.

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.


Cheers,
Kelly

I got it, found with "apt-cache search".

Let's hope some devs will port it soon from here:
