Here are the steps I took, to get from a totally unrecognized device to a recognized device under stock Ubuntu 8.04 without a new kernel compilation:

1. Download compat-wireless from linuxwireless.org/download/co...ss-2.6.tar.bz2
2. Untar somewhere (I'm choosing /usr/src/) and I'm doing everything as root from here on:
Code:

sudo su
cd /usr/src
tar xjf compat-wireless-2.6.tar.bz2
cd compat-wireless-2008-08-06

3. Note, as of this writing (8/24/0, the most recent compat wireless package available was dated 8/6/08, but it does contain support for the 5100 card.
4. Edit the config.mk file and add the following lines at the end to turn on support for the 5100 card and also for the rfkill switch:
Code:

CONFIG_IWL5000=y
CONFIG_IWLWIFI_RFKILL=y

5. Download the firmware iwlwifi-5000-ucode-5.4.A.11.tar.gz
6.
Code:

tar xzf iwlwifi-5000-ucode-5.4.A.11.tar.gz
sudo cp iwlwifi-5000-1.ucode /lib/firmware/2.6.24-19-generic/

7.
Code:

make
make install
make load

This will add support for the 5100 card to the iwl4965 kernel module. This is probably temporary and from what I read the 2.6.26 kernels already have an iwl5000 module...
8.
Code:

9. And this is where I get stuck. The wlan0 device is not enabled. I think this is related somehow to the hardware RF Kill switch (airplane switch) that disables wireless. This machine has a hardware switch and a software Fn+F2 option. Neither combination has worked for me. Toggling the hardware switch generates errors in the syslog:
Code:

Aug 24 16:29:38 wta-mobile kernel: [ 1576.686265] atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0xf1 on isa0060/serio0).
Aug 24 16:29:38 wta-mobile kernel: [ 1576.686275] atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e071 <keycode>' to make it known.

10. This thread talks about the rfkill switch, but none of the suggestions have worked for me.


Any help with this is appreciated. I haven't tried compiling a 2.6.26 kernel yet, and I'd rather not if there are other options.

Thank you so much wolframarnold!
Thanks to you ive got my wireless 5100 working with hardy!

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!
