Wireless internet not working - Intel Corporation WiMAX/WiFi Link 6050 Series
 
Figured it out after installing a later version of the iwlwifi-6050 on linuxwireless.org

I'm pretty much a linux newbie. I've reinstalled Slackware 4 times today because of things I've messed up along my way, after upgrading the linux kernel I've had issues with getting back to desktop, so I'm on a clean slate right now with the exception of installing wicd. I need help since wireless is not working.. My wireless worked fine out of the box with Ubuntu, so I don't understand why it is not working now...

Using Slackware 13.1, Kernel 2.6.33.4

Issue:
Code:
bash-4.1# ifconfig wlan0 up
SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory
Code:
lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

you need to install the firmware
http://slackware.osuosl.org/slackwar...1.4.1-fw-1.txz

drfrostbyte 03-27-2011 12:13 AM
so then mv to /lib/firmware/?

willysr 03-27-2011 01:38 AM
yes, move it to /lib/firmware
if it's not the correct one, then probably you need the newer one available on -Current only
Code:
n/iwlwifi-6xxx-ucode-41.28.5.1-fw-1.txz: Added.
      Microcode to support Intel 6000G2A, 6000G2B, 6150BGN, and 6250AGN wifi.

drfrostbyte 03-27-2011 08:01 AM
It's still not working, getting same Ifconfig error after rebooting, and dmesg I posted above.

willysr 03-27-2011 08:37 AM
what iwlwifi packages do you have on your system?

drfrostbyte 03-27-2011 09:58 AM
How would I know? /lib/firmware/ ???

Go get the driver here
http://www.intellinuxwireless.org/?n=Downloads
i believe what you need is this one
6050 Images – for Intel Centrino Advanced-N + WiMAX 6250 and Wireless-N + WiMAX 6150
iwlwifi-6050-ucode-41.28.5.1.tgz

drfrostbyte 03-28-2011 08:09 PM
Thats what i downloaded and i put it in /lib/firmware

willysr 03-28-2011 08:22 PM
Hm.. it provides iwlwifi-6050-5.ucode, but what you need is iwlwifi-6050-4.ucode
i believe it's supported in older kernels, but it has been updated since newer kernel

this is untested hack: try renaming iwlwifi-6050-5.ucode to iwlwifi-6050-4.ucode and see if it works?
