Ubuntu driver for intel wifi link 1000 bgn - Whinis - 01-03-2010

My laptop's wifi card intel wifi link 1000 bgn is not automatically installed in linux, is there anyway to install it without internet?

Do you have an ethernet cable?

Yep i agree with trilobyte. I have had this problem and thats how i overcome it.
Other than that you would need to download the rpm from another pc and store it on usb or similar i would think.

Ok next question where would I get said driver. because I have enough usb drives to go to the moon and no easily accessible Ethernet port however several internet enabled computers.

I hope this helps :

It turns out I had to download the 1000bgn microcode from http://intellinuxwireless.org/?n=Downloads, extract it and copy it to /lib/firmware/.

Also, what Linux distro are you actually using?

Uh I am using ubuntu 9.04 however I found that site above shortly before he posted it and found that 9.10 had the drivers already in it so I did a disc upgrade quickly. Now I just need to get the webcam, mic, lights, and other stuff to work. oh well at least I got Internet now


RE: Ubuntu driver for intel wifi link 1000 bgn - Jordan L. - 01-04-2010

It should be easy getting the Mic and Webcam etc to work. With Fedora 12, which I recently installed, all my mic and webcam drivers were already installed. Which I was surprised by; considering my webcam is a Microfail one.

Well mine isn't even being recognized by ls so I figured that it can't communicate for whatever reason.

but it does show up when i try to view using cheese, and now mic works after update Smile
