Hi,
I'm running 2.6.35.11-83.fc14.x86_64 on a Precision M6500 and have a wireless issue. My wireless device is a Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6200.
Here is the output of dmesg.

Is there a firmware update for your machine/wireless card? Seems to suggest that the EEPROM is too old..?

Provide output of lspci so people can see the exact info about the device.

I forgot to mention that you will need to find an update for the firmware for this device. I had a similar problem with an atheros based mini-pci wifi. Once you find the update, you might also have to flash it manually.
Thanks, the output is below, seems to be rev 09. Will try to find later firmware. I think people got "Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6200" to work on and older Fedora kernel, but from google search don't know if anyone has got it to work on latest Fedora stable ...

You mean to flash the firmware, right? The driver usually loads the firmware from /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-xxxx.1.ucode and /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-xxxx.2.ucode and the driver loads that firmware into the wifi card.
Downloading the correct firmware itself might require that you visit the intel web site and search for it there. There are some old emails in various mailing lists and forums that downgrading to an older firmware solved their problem. but it is not clear for which kernel version. Probably a much older kernel.

I think you may have to downgrade to a slightly older firmware.

By the way, I found the correct firmware for your card: *6000 Images – for Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 and Advanced-N 6200 *** http://intellinuxwireless.org/iwlwifi/downloads/iwlwifi-6000-ucode-9.221.4.1...
Thanks for the help.
Just some background info and a query. I downloaded and did a fresh install of 64-bit Fedora about a week ago from Fedora site.. Do I understand correctly that when I did the install, FC14 loaded the rev 09 firmware and that this is already an old firmware?
Now, do I understand correctly that I need to keep that old firmware but roll back to an older Fedora Kernel to get the Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6200 to play nice with Fedora?

No. FWIW, the "rev 09" you got from lspci is about the _hardware_ revision.
The iwl6000-firmware package should be installed by default, especially on a clean install. It is possible that the base Fedora install has an older version (not sure when the last update happened), but if you have done a "yum update" then you should already have the updated firmware package.
Now, do I understand correctly that I need to keep that old firmware but roll back to an older Fedora Kernel to get the Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6200 to play nice with Fedora?
This is incorrect. Please forget it.
What seems most likely is that you have an older (possibly pre-release) piece of hardware that has EEPROM data on the card that the driver refuses to recognize. Whether or not it is supposed to recognize it is the only remaining question. Hopefully Wey-yi will chime-in.

No. FWIW, the "rev 09" you got from lspci is about the _hardware_ revision.
The iwl6000-firmware package should be installed by default, especially on a clean install. It is possible that the base Fedora install has an older version (not sure when the last update happened), but if you have done a "yum update" then you should already have the updated firmware package.
Correct John, I did a "yum update"
Now, do I understand correctly that I need to keep that old firmware but roll back to an older Fedora Kernel to get the Intel Centrino
Advanced-N
6200 to play nice with Fedora?
This is incorrect. Please forget it.
What seems most likely is that you have an older (possibly pre-release) piece of hardware that has EEPROM data on the card that the driver refuses to recognize. Whether or not it is supposed to recognize it is the only remaining question. Hopefully Wey-yi will chime-in.
Not sure if I have a pre-release piece of hardware. Is there a way to find this out for sure? The hardware did work with windows 7. Who is Wey-yi?

Wey-yi is the primary person at Intel paid to make sure that the driver in question works. :-)

Thank you for those who have taken the time to suggest possible ways to get my card working. It seems I have the latest firmware, the one that came with the Fedora 64-bit DVD, that I downloaded from fedora ~1 week ago. This is the output John was asking,
[root@cupri Downloads]# rpm -q iwl6000-firmware
iwl6000-firmware-9.221.4.1-1.fc14.noarch
John, the wireless card was put into a machine I won on ebay by the same authorised dell ebay reseller, from Australia. The machine came with windows 7, I tested it in wondowz and the card appeared to work fine in windows 7.
Any other hints on the next steps to take to try to get wireless working for this card, on Fedora 14?

Well, it sounds like the hardware you have may not be entirely "legit", and Intel doesn't want to support it.
You could try rebuilding your kernel locally, changing the value of EEPROM_6000_EEPROM_VERSION in drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-eeprom.h to 0x423 (I think that was the value your device reported). I doubt if you like that option, but I'm not sure what else to suggest. The problem is that the EEPROM contains information related to regulatory compliance, so using an unsupported data format could allow your device to operate outside of legal parameters. :-(
Perhaps you could get your hardware supplier to swap-out the card for one obtained through more "official" channels?
John
Thanks John for the message. Did Wey-yi respond to your mail John? Is the "too old" Eprom, firmware conjecture reasonable, considering the card DOES work in Windows 7 as verified? Unfortunately swapping out the card is not feasible since it would have to travel to Australia from Argentina and then the new one back again, bad for the hip pocket and more importantly for the environment.
Haven't been able to contact intel yet, although i've been trying hard for the last few days. I don't really want to build my own Kernel, since I have no experience, and heard it is a pain in the proverbial. So I think i'll try to run a live ubuntu CD to see what happens... or maybe buy a new card locally.

"Reasonable" may be in the eye of the beholder, but it depends on what the driver does with the information it gets from the eeprom. It could be that the current linux driver is doing something with the eeprom info that the windows driver you are using doesn't do. Maybe the linux driver could be more conservative about what it does with eeprom info when the eeprom version is too old? Or maybe the windows driver is at risk of doing the wrong thing already? Maybe some later version of the windows driver will refuse to work with your hardware? I have no idea.
For the most part, this is a hardware support issue for the Intel folks. If you can convince them that the earlier eeprom version should be supported for your hardware, I'll be happy to merge a patch to enable it. But if they say that your hardware will operate outside of legal limits with your eeprom's values, then I can't enable it in good conscience.
John
Thanks a million John for offering to write a patch. Today I spoke to Nathalie from Intel about this issue, ticket number: 8000209173. Nathalie said she would write to you on behalf of Intel that since Intel are prepared to have me use this card in Windows 7 (same EEPROM, same hardware), as Wey-wi also wrote yesterday, and since this card was installed by the Dell system-integrator/wholesaler and NOT by me then that same EEPROM version (VER=0x423 < 0x434 CALIB=0x5 < 0x4) should support my hardware.
hope this is not a big hassle for you, if I can help with the patch, please advise.

But, if I get some confirmation from a credible source at Intel that simply honoring the earlier version is sufficient I should have no particular problem squeezing-out such a patch.

Hi Wey,
Including you and Nathalie of Intel, the Dell wholesaler who integrated my system, and the WIN 7 developers who implemented the windows driver for the card have not expressed any concern that the network card in question (with EEPROM 0x424) be used under WINDOWS 7. To make my life easier, if it isn't too much trouble could you please find out the nature of the difference between the EPROM code of my card (0x424) with the EEPROM version (>=0x434) currently supported by Fedora, so that John, as he kindly suggested merge a patch so that this card (0x424) could still be used by the Fedora community?
with regards, - Sebastian

cheers,
By the way, I found the correct firmware for your card: *6000 Images – for Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 and Advanced-N 6200
http://intellinuxwireless.org/iwlwifi/downloads/iwlwifi-6000-ucode-9.221.4.1...
Which is, of course, the version provided by the Fedora iwl6000-firmware package...
Also, the firmware is not stored on the card. Telling people to "reflash" their firmware for this card is sending them on a fool's errand -- please stop.
Sebastian, where did you obtain this card? Is it possibly some engineering sample that escaped out into the wild? That happens from time to time...
Wey-yi, is it possible that you picked the wrong value for EEPROM_6000_EEPROM_VERSION in commit 1f4b9665?
John
