[arch-general] Intel(R) Wireless WiFi Link 5100AGN - how to get it working
Hi All I managed to get X up although the keyboard is always on US in stead of BE layout, but I think I can find that one out. I also tried to get wifi access but I cannot get the driver installed. On Ubuntu I get the following: [507] [amuls@geodprof: ~]$ dmesg | grep -i wire [ 21.608085] iwlagn: Intel(R) Wireless WiFi Link AGN driver for Linux, 1.3.27k [ 21.608350] iwlagn 0000:05:00.0: Detected Intel Wireless WiFi Link 5100AGN REV=0x54 What is the package to install and what do I have to do afterwards? bye/Alain

You should read the wiki. The article about Wireless is very straightforward. Have fun :) http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wireless http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wireless#iwl3945.2C_iwl4965_and_iwl5000-... -- Guilherme M.

Just change it in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-keymap.fdi The line you need to change is this: <merge key="input.xkb.layout" type="string">XX</merge> Change XX to the layout you want. If you don't have a 10-keymap.fdi file there, copy from /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-keymap.fdi to /etc/hal/fdi/policy/ csm
