Here is the output of lspci -v on a dell xps laptop I got today:


Network controller: Intel Corporation Device 008a (rev 34)

Flags: fast devsel, IRQ 17
Memory at f3b00000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K]
Capabilities: <access denied>

I just ran inxi -n and got this if it helps:



inxi -N

You don't say which version of linux you are using, but try this link Linux Mint 10 & Intel Centrino Wireless Card for a solution.
