been there... downloaded the firmware... but then my expertise is a little bit lacking..

Quote:
Device Drivers ->
Generic Driver Options ->
Userspace firmware loading support

You can determine if your kernel currently has firmware loader support by looking for the CONFIG_FW_LOADER definition on your kernel's .config file.
this is what don't have a clue how to do. since i'm not sure where to find the kernel or the kernel sources i think i need. i don't think it is installed by default in studio leet.

edit:
i installed the drivers in /lib/firmware but modprobe iwlwifi gives me ; FATAL: Module iwlwifi not found.

and "find -type f -iname "*iwl*.ko" "
gives me;

./3.8.4-l0wt3ch-rt2/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/iwlegacy/iwl3945.ko
./3.8.4-l0wt3ch-rt2/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/iwlegacy/iwl4965.ko
./3.8.4-l0wt3ch-rt2/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/iwlegacy/iwlegacy.ko
sh-4.1#


so i guess something is missing.. and im not sure how to go about getting it.

I had never heard of studio leet, but it appears to be a Slackware_13.37-based distro with little or no documentation.
I simply searched and found this by volkerdi. Section 4 may have some hints for you, I hope! Hang in there (and maybe try the slackware sub-forum?)!

this is studio leets support forum as far as i know.. but it is a wee bit interesting that the drivers seem to be obsolete in slackware 14
