Well, sorry i didn't understood what's the problem here... Actually iwl4965-firmware bundles two firmwares, 4.44.1.18 and 4.44.17 - There is no new firmware image unless not public yet... So, this is possible to use a previous kernel t Are you sure the iwl4965-firmware package come from the Fedora version ? do rpm -qi iwl4965-firmware should a buildserver at fedoraprojet ? closing to not a bug for now but be sure to re-open if there is a problem
well sorry missunderstood that it's worked... So you just wanted it to be installed by default... This might be done for next F8T3
Ok iwl4965-firmware is now added by default and will be provided with the next F8t3 release
I installed from DVD, so I guess that's why they were installed on my system. But that wasn't what I meant. My problem was that i beleived that the firmware was the reason that my wireless card didn't work on boot. So when i replaced the firmware with the one i downloaded and reprobed the module, it worked. But, I re-installed Fedora the other day and it seems that the only thing I need to do is to reprobe the module. So that's the real problem it seems. That the card is detected, but not enabled before i reprobe the module.
I don't knwo then... probably a problem with the module?... Do you meant you need to do this for each reboot ?
Yeah, I had to do it for every reboot. But hey, looks like that's been fixed for Test3. So everything works perfectly with my wirelesscard now :)
