1 - iwl4965: iwlwifi-4965-1.ucode firmware file req failed: Reason -2

3 This error indicate a firmware version/filename mismatch. Just rename the
4 file to whatever iwlwifi displays in this case: iwlwifi-4965-1.ucode If this
5 fails, try an alternate version, perhaps
6 net-wireless/iwl4965-ucode-228.57.1.21.
7 The above is taken from Gentoo wiki troubleshoot section for iwlwifi
8 drivers. Try that in case you haven't already.
