Intel Wifi Link 4965agn Driver Windows 10
Here's the deal:I have a Toshiba Satellite M305-S4910 notebook on which I have installed Linux Mint 8 Main. The wireless adapter is an Intel Wifi Link 5100 agn and I've tried everything I could find to get it to work. Network manager does not show that the card is available. I tried everything from the MintWifi wiki, and I tried downloading and replacing the microcode (I kept the originals just in case.) I Googled, and I searched these forums . . . nothing has worked. I tried the LiveCD and the wifi doesn't work with that, either - just a bunch of lines running down the screen during boot, saying 'MAC is in deep sleep!'
- Feb 18, 2009 i was wondering since the latest ubuntu version has intel 5100 agn working is there any chance it will be working on osx86 or does any1 know how to create a 5100 kext to get it to work? I would be willing to try to create the kext but i prob am not smart enough with unix yet.
- In that case, OP will have to upgrade or replace the Intel wifi 5100 adapter with a newer model when upgrading to Windows 10. I know for sure Windows 8 & 8.1 had built-in (in-box) drivers for Intel WiFi 5100 & 5300 adapters though I'm not sure if Windows 10 has in-box drivers for those old wifi adapters.
- Intel® Wireless WiFi Link 5100 (not work). There are any way to use it in mac os x? I have the same wireless. It would be great if the Linux driver could.
- The wireless adapter is an Intel Wifi Link 5100 agn and I've tried everything I could find to get it to work. Network manager does not show that the card is available. I tried everything from the MintWifi wiki, and I tried downloading and replacing the microcode (I kept the originals just in case.).
Need a kext for Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless WiFi Link 5100 too:) This card is working now in linux, and there is drivers for it (using it now, in my Gentoo 64bit) Maybe can have a port for leo?
If it counts as useful information, I tried using the Windows driver with ndiswrapper as well with no luck. It shows that the hardware is not present, and iwconfig won't show it. But I have noted that the driver provided by Toshiba is a Realtec driver. Also it may be useful to know that I have Windows 7 64-bit dual booting with Linux Mint x86 but I did try the x86 driver (the x64 was a definite no-go as it said, 'invalid driver.')
Following are the requisite terminal outputs:

I'm sorry if I've left anything out or posted something wrong, but I've been at this for three days now, and with the kind of work I put in, that totally counts as paying my dues. Is there any hope?
***EDIT: In case it helps, I have found that a Fedora 12 LiveCD finds and uses my wireless adapter correctly. But I am not giving up on Mint if I don't have to.
