Problems with an Intel wi-fi card
Regards,
I've recently arrived to LMDE 201108 (64 bit) from Ubuntu. I'm really glad with the Linux Mint's performance.
The only problem (until now) is with my wifi card. It's an Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 1000. It recognizes the wireless networks, but it's not possible to connect me to them. I've tried with WEP, WPA and non-security networks, but I always failed. I've read that the network manager had some problems with Intel wifi cards, so I installed wicd. It was worse. Now it can't detect any network.
Does somebody know any solution?
Thanks.

Re: Problems with an Intel wi-fi card
Please install linux-firmware-nonfree (Ubuntu-based Mint) or firmware-iwlwifi (Debian-based Mint) from the Software Manager (after connecting to a wired network). Then this Intel wifi card works fine.
And you can place NM back without any problem, but with the firmware installed, wicd should work too.

Re: Problems with an Intel wi-fi card
The firmware-iwlwifi is already installed (I'm using Linux Mint Debian Edition). The installed version is the last one.
Re: Problems with an Intel wi-fi card
Got the exact same problem, I also have the proper firmware installed.
Re: Problems with an Intel wi-fi card
I installed the 2.6.32 linux kernel, and wireless-crda package, and it doesn't work yet.
I installed the same kernel version you've shown on the picture.
Is there need to install any other package?

Re: Problems with an Intel wi-fi card
I've done everything on that post. I could install the 2.6.32 kernel and wireless-crda.
I've installed the iwlwifi firmware too. I didn't get any error.
Is there need to remove the 2.6.39 kernel?? I did all the past steps and everything is gone "right". The wifi card recognizes all the networks, but I can't connect to any network.

Re: Problems with an Intel wi-fi card
No you should need to remove your other kernels.
So the card it working now but just not connecting to the network?
Try right click on your panel icon then network connections and the wireless tab. , then add.
Do you know the SSID and security key to the network you are trying to connect too?
I hide my SSID broadcast, so unless I type it in, the card would never know it was there.
But anyway since your card is working now,you will need to find out why it's not connecting to any networks found,

Re: Problems with an Intel wi-fi card
The first time I installed LMDE the wifi card was installed but i couldn't connect to any network.
I'm trying to connect with my wifi network. It uses WEP security. I obviously have the password. It's working fine in Window$
It worked fine on Ubuntu 11.04, so I think there's not need to install a Window$ driver with ndiswarapper.

Re: Problems with an Intel wi-fi card
have you tried wifi-radar as a network manager? It's in the package manager.
Re: Problems with an Intel wi-fi card
I tried installing wifi-radar. I had to run it from Terminal, and ir recognized the networks too. But I unistalled network-manager and they dissapeared. I hado to install it again because the wired network didn't work without network-manager. Is there need to install any other package with wifi-radar?

Re: Problems with an Intel wi-fi card
here are the dependencies: http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/net/wifi-radar
Re: Problems with an Intel wi-fi card
it's not a hardware or driver problem now, maybe a conf' problem see if something here might help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1701477

Re: Problems with an Intel wi-fi card
I'm from Linux Mint 11 (Live Mode) and the wireless card works fine. So, is there anything I could get from here to apply to LMDE? (firmware, driver, .conf file, I don't know...)
Re: Problems with an Intel wi-fi card
Perhaps installing firmware-iwlwifi helps?
On Ubuntu firmware for 2100, 2200, 2915, 3945 and 4965 is pre-installed, and the other chips are in firmware-nonfree. At Debian, I just found out, the firmware for 3945 and 4965 is in the firmware package too, instead of the kernel.
