Kernel does not see my wireless interface ?

Hello,

I did'nt connect to internet with wifi since SliTaz 4.0. I tried this week without any success :

$ iwconfig wlan0

wlan0     No such device

$ lspci | grep -i network

00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82567LF Gigabit Network Connection (rev 03)

08:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Ultimate N WiFi Link 5300

$ lsmod

Module                  Size  Used by    Not tainted

.../...

iwlagn                141847  0

iwlcore                40041  1 iwlagn

mac80211              145388  2 iwlagn,iwlcore

cfg80211               99896  3 iwlagn,iwlcore,mac80211

.../...

I searched through the forum but did'nt find anything that helped me. Does anyone have an idea ? Thanks

(wifi works perfectly well with SliTaz 3.0 Xvesa on the same computer)

Re: Kernel does not see my wireless interface ?

Install all (7) firmware-iwlwifi tazpkgs

Open second terminal:

[c]tail -f /var/log/messages[/c]

In the first terminal :

[c]modprobe -r iwlagn[/c]

[c]modprobe iwlagn[/c]

Look for messages with firmware loading errors in second terminal.

If you need more help post errors and output from:

[c]lspci -nn[/c]
