wireless device intel 4965 ag on VAIO not detected... RHEL5
 
Hi,
I recently bought Sony VAIO FZ 410. I installed RHEL5 update 1 on it.
It works fine. But, I am unable to configure wireless n/w. There is no driver for my wireless device.

lspci shows
Intel Pro/wireless 4965 AG or AGN networks

Please help me in resolving it.

The driver in the kernel does not seem to work, use the intel supplied driver instead.

I tried to use Intel supplied Driver also...
I downloaded drivers from the link that you sent.... I used iwlwifi-1.2.25 driver version.... But it crashed my Linux, I lost my GUI.... And system stopped responding...

Do you know which version are stable and safe to use ?

newer kernels have the driver merged in RHEL is always behind, and is not a desktop centric distribution you would be better of using a distribution that uses recent kernels and is focused on desktop users.
