[Bug 462291] Re: Intel 4965agn not working in Jaunty 2.6.28-16-generic

  There is no way to have the Intel 4965agn wireless working correctly. The firmware installed is the last one available "228.61.2.24", wireless software is the last available, "compat-wireless-2009-10-27.tar.bz2", (I tried all the intermediate version during the last 3 months, without any result), but still not working. The maximum I was able to obtain is that now, using the software switch "FN+F2" available on my DELL 9400 Inspiron, I'm able to have the Txpower parameter up, but lshw always display a "network DISABLE". I read and tried practically all the available discussions (ubuntu forum, debian forum, google, etc...), but nothing usable.
  The card is perfect, if I boot with XP (using a different disk, not in dual boot) all work correctly. I tried also ndiswrapper, but without success and I'd like not to have to use ndiswrapper and Windows artifact to have wireless working. I tried also the last 9.10 beta, but the installation went in loop with a "MAC is in deep sleep" message, so I cannot do any test.
  This is one of the wireless card more used and it seems very strange, to me, that its not fully tested and supported: a great lack for a good distribution like Ubuntu is. The strange is that I was able to have the same card, with the old firmware, smoothly up and running using an HP Notebook. The only differences, between the two PCs, is that I must boot the DELL Inspiron 9400 using the "noapic" parameter, and the HP no. Is not that this parameter generate some strange interrupts conflict?
