Intel 6250 AGN wireless card support for Ubuntu

[usctrojan]

Intel has released the wifi firmware support for 6050 series on June 2nd. Can some one please tell the steps involved in getting support enabled for this card after downloading the microcode from Intel site

Thanks a Lot

I believe it's already supported in the module iwlagn. What is the pci.id of your device?

lspci -nn

Is it listed in:

modinfo iwlagn

Doesn't /lib/firmware contain the correct firmware file?

ls /lib/firmware | grep ucode

Oops, sorry. Now I see. The new firmware is 6050-xx and the firmware we currently have is 6000-xx.

Save the file to your desktop. Right-click and select 'Extract Here.' Now open a terminal and do:

cd Desktop/wlwifi-6050-ucode-9.201.4.1
sudo cp iwlwifi-6050-4.ucode /lib/firmware

Now let's make sure it has the correct permission and ownership:

sudo chmod 644 /lib/firmware/iwlwifi*
sudo chown root:root /lib/firmware/iwlwifi*

Now unload and reload the module:

sudo rmmod -f iwlagn
sudo modprobe iwlagn

Now does your device work as expected?

Thanks chili555, you are a great help. This worked perfectly on my thinkpad sl410 running ubuntu 10.04

Now it's time to kill the touchpad...
