My network center is not displaying any wireless connections even though I know there are several in the area.

I am trying to reinstall my wireless driver with the hopes that I can get it working. In an effort to find my wireless card I ran the fallowing command with the results below: sudo lshw -c network.

sudo lshw -c network

  • Any result using iwlist scan? This is not windows, so "uninstalling driver" is not the first option.

  • Please edit your question to add the result of: rfkill list all and also: dmesg | grep iwl Thanks.

I'm guessing that this - Intel® Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN - is your WiFi card based off product: PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN [Kedron] Network Connection & vendor: Intel Corporation as listed in your question.

You should be able to download your drivers for that device from here.

  • I went to the link and selected the linux version but it said that the page was unavailable. How do I uninstall the existing driver?

  • @Mike That's strange. I was having a similar issue with random pages being missing - must be something on Intel's end. As for removing the driver, run dpkg -s | grep intel and post the results. If it's too long, create an Ubuntu Paste at paste.ubuntu.com

  • dpkg -s | grep intel dpkg-query: error: --status needs at least one package name argument Use --help for help about querying packages.

  • @Mike facepalm. Sorry, I meant to say run dpkg -l | grep intel. My bad, I'm sorry :P

Intel has a generic driver that covers the 82566MM Gigabit Network. It comes under the e1000 series, and you can download that from here.

As far as the PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN [Kedron] Network, you can download the driver from Linux wireless.

  • I downloaded the file and clicked on it but I am not sure what to do beyond that.

  • I just disconnected from the ethernet connection and I have wifi again. Maybe just downloading the package fixed it without executing any files? Thanks for the help! :-)
