Thanks all<br>

sudo apt-get install linux-firmware<br>
<br>
worked once for me. I did it, it downloaded a 20MB package and installed,
then I restarted and the wifi came up the that time. However after
shutting down then powering on again Im back to old issue. I repeated
the above without internet and it appeared to reinstall linux-firmware
but this time it does nothing on a restart.<br>
<br>
/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-4965-2.ucode exists ok.<br><br>Anything else I can try?<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 21 February 2012 02:25, Jason Nicholls <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jason@mindsocket.com.au">jason@mindsocket.com.au</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I installed 11.10 and wifi worked the first few days then not long after it suddenly took a long time to boot, as if its waiting for something, and then when it finally gets to login there is no wlan device. Anyone else had an issue with intel wireless?<br>
