Hello,
I have an Asus U52F laptop with the Intel 6050 network adapter.
Code:
# lspci | grep WiFi
02:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation WiMAX/WiFi Link 6050 Series (rev 5f)
I've downloaded the Intel firmware and dropped it into the correct location according to the README.
Code:
# ls -l /lib/firmware | grep iwl
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 469780 Jul 10 13:18 iwlwifi-6050-5.ucode
I am using the current module from compat-wireless. When I modprobe iwlagn, I get no error message, and the module shows up in lsmod.
Code:
# lsmod | grep iwlagn
iwlagn 158054 0
mac80211 179615 1 iwlagn
cfg80211 139799 2 iwlagn,mac80211
However, no wireless devices show as being attached to my system!
Code:
# iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
I also see errors in dmesg.
Code:
# dmesg | tail
iwlagn: Intel(R) Wireless WiFi Link AGN driver for Linux, in-tree:

I've been scratching my head and googling this for over a week now. Any ideas where I am going wrong?
Thanks for your help!
