iwlagn Unsupported (too old) EEPROM
Page content
After purchasing a new wireless card of ebay. I found out that it was a preproduction knock off. You can see [Intels view on this ][1]. In order to get it working on linux you need to hack the driver. This is a hack and i mean a hack, it took me 2 seconds but now my wireless card is working.
