I don't know. This is a fresh install of Gutsy amd64, updated to the latest. This is what I get from the command line.

jjj@Devil7:~$ lspci
03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN Network Connection (rev 61)
jjj@Devil7:~$ lsmod |grep iwl
iwl4965			113512	0 
iwlwifi_mac80211	200456	1	iwl4965
cfg80211			8720	1	iwlwifi_mac80211
jjj@Devil7:~$ uname -a
Linux Devil7 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Sun Oct 14 21:45:15 GMT 2007 x86_64 GNU/Linux

There are probably more commands I could use to give further details, but that is all I know how to do that I could think of. 

What are the latest drivers and firmware image?
