Re: NM does not work with iwl4965 device

["Jerone Young" <jerone gmail com>]

It works fine for me. I have a Lenovo Thinkpad T61 and I am using
Ubuntu Gutsy (which has NM 0.65). I am using WPA 2 at home with my
Linksys WRTGL router. I have been using the drivers for some time and
Network manager has not had any issue working with them.
Here is the version of intel driver I am currently using

iwplwifi: 0.1.5
iwlwifi-4965-ucode: 4.44.1.18
mac80211: 9.0.2
