[SOLVED]Intel Wifi link 5100 not working
Post by AvengerZap » Tue Aug 11, 2020 3:53 am
I recently installed linux mint 20 cinnamon on my second hdd and I cannot access wifi as it says «wifi unavailable»
Wifi works fine on other os like manjaro, windows 10, windows 7 etc.
From what I have understood from other posts of this same issue is about a wireless switch on the laptop. The switch is set to on like normal and as said before works on other operating systems.
My laptop specifications:
Sony vaio VPCCW1BGN
Intel core 2 duo CPU
4gb ram
Nvidia geforce g210m
I saw this post, which seems to be working. Please help me get it for my wifi adaptor accordingly
viewtopic.php?t=209496
In that there is this command [sudo cp iwlwifi-*.ucode /lib/firmware]
I don’t know how to replace the star
Thanks in advance

Which iwlwifi firmware for Intel WiFi Link 5100?
After upgrading to 13.04 the wifi usually fails to find a network and after a while the network manager crashes. After some digging it looks like the iwlwifi firmware version for my PC Intel WiFi Link 5100 adapter is wrong.
[. ] description: Wireless interface product: WiFi Link 5100 vendor: Intel Corporation [. ] configuration: broadcast=yes driver=iwlwifi driverversion=3.8.0-21-generic firmware=8.83.5.1 build 33692 ip=192.168.0.109 latency=0 link=yes multicast=yes wireless=IEEE 802.11abgn but according to http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/iwlwifi the Intel® Wireless WiFi 5100AGN driver should be iwlwifi-5000-ucode-5.4.A.11.tar.gz (the firmware=8.83.5.1 above refers to an other wifi device namely to Intel® Wireless WiFi 5350AGN). Why does 13.04 use iwlwifi firmware=8.83.5.1 and not firmware=5.4.1.16 as suggested at http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/iwlwifi ? In order to correct the situation I downloaded the iwlwifi-5000-ucode-5.4.A.11.tar.gz which contains a file iwlwifi-5000-1.ucode. I also removed existing /lib/firmware/iwlwifi* files (e.g. iwlwifi-5000-5.ucode) and copied the new iwlwifi-5000-1.ucode in the firmware directory
sudo mv /lib/firmware/*iwlwifi* ~/keep_iwlwif sudo cp iwlwifi-5000-1.ucode /lib/firmware After rebooting sudo lshw -class network displayed the firmware=5.4.1.16 which seemed good to me but the dmesg displayed following iwlwifi errors.
[ 14.196502] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: request for firmware file 'iwlwifi-5000-5.ucode' failed. [ 14.200629] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: request for firmware file 'iwlwifi-5000-4.ucode' failed. [ 14.204814] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: request for firmware file 'iwlwifi-5000-3.ucode' failed. [ 14.253843] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: request for firmware file 'iwlwifi-5000-2.ucode' failed. I decided to add the iwlwifi-5000-5.ucode back to /lib/firmware and rebooted. After reboot I was back in where I started, sudo lshw -class network displayed again the firmware=8.83.5.1 and no dmesg errors for iwlwifi. Moreover, the wifi didn’t work any better.
