I just upgraded Gutsy x86_64 on my T61 to Hardy x86_64.
The good news:
Brightness buttons now work
Boot splash screen now works
The bad news:
4965agn wireless still doesn't work and the LED still doesn't come on
Regarding the 4965agn, I can't test it well here at home because I have
no wireless here. However, it ought to at least be able to see my
neighbors' networks. If I put in a Netgear WG511T card that I have been
using for the past year, then I get an ath0 interface and all the
neighbors' networks show up. Without the Netgear card (but with my home
ethernet connected), here is what I get:
jjj@Devil7:~$ sudo iwlist scan
[sudo] password for jjj:
lo Interface doesn't support scanning.
eth0 Interface doesn't support scanning.
wmaster0 Interface doesn't support scanning.
wlan0 No scan results
All I need is to get the 4965agn working and my life will be perfect.
Any suggestions?
