Tomorrow morning I will be going to Columbus, OH for Ohio LinuxFest 2007. I am pretty excited because this will be the first Linux conference I have ever attended. I am looking forward to meeting other Linux junkies from the Northeast Ohio area. See you at the convention!
I recently purchased a new Lenovo Thinkpad T61 laptop to replace my aging T22. I have been following the guide on Volker’s Wiki, and thought I would add a small update for the wireless configuration. The Intel 4965 wireless chipset does not work with Fedora 7 out of the box. The guide on the wiki has the necessary instructions for building a custom kernel with 4965 support. This is no longer necessary. Once you complete the initial install, connect the T61 to the internet and download the latest updates. This should include an update to kernel version 2.6.22.4-65. Once the updates have successfully installed, run the command ‘yum install iwl4965-firmware’ to install the microcode for the adapter. Once you reboot into the new kernel, the wireless adapter should show up in the Network Configuration tool. Beats going through the trouble of patching and compiling a custom kernel.
This is exactly why I closed my eBay account last year.
