Setup on: 2008-11-22. Sidux Kernel 2.6.27 comes with the needed configuration only the firmware microcode is missing. Until this code is not integrated into the nonfree package
firmware-iwlwifi there is need to copy it by hand (see below).
Hint:
If the iwlwifi-5000 microcode is migrated (currently on the wishlist) into the firmware-iwlwifi package, then you can try as root to apt-get update && apt-get install firmware-iwlwifi
Hint:
New versions of the microcode might be available on the Wireless WiFi Link drivers for Linux page by Intel in the download section.
This installation has been done on a T500.

Hardware Installation
- Update to 2.6.27 Kernel
# apt-get update && apt-get install linux-image-2.6-sidux-686 linux-headers-2.6-sidux-686
- Get the Firmware microcode from the Intel Website
$ wget http://intellinuxwireless.org/iwlwifi/downloads/iwlwifi-5000-ucode-5.4.A.11.tar.gz
and unpack it$ tar -zxvf iwlwifi-5000-ucode-5.4.A.11.tar.gz
- Copy the Microcode into the firmware dirctory
/lib/firmware/
for example by# cp iwlwifi-5000-1.ucode /lib/firmware/
- Reload the Kernel Module
# modprobe -r iwlagn && modprobe iwlagn
- Done.
Test of Hardware Installation
- Interface should be in the list now:
$ nicinfo
- Scan for Networks, this should work now:
# iwlist scanning
Usage Example: Establish a WLAN link with ceni
- Update ceni with wpagui
# apt-get update && apt-get install ceni wpagui
- Start ceni
# ceni
- Configure Wlan Interface within ceni
- Use ... and then scan or roam.
- With scan you should see wireless networks and be able to connect to them.
