Upgrading to net-wireless/iwl4965-ucode-228.57.2.21 from 228.57.1.21 causes my wireless to stop working. 228.57.1.21 worked fine. I am using iwlwifi from kernel 2.6.25-gentoo-r7. My wireless nic according to lspci is "Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN Network Connection (rev 61)" Reproducible: Always
Please post your `emerge --info' too, perhaps along with some more specific information about the running kernel as well the kernel you compiled against, and the error messages from dmesg, the command line and maybe syslog.
that version requires kernel 2.6.27. It won't work with your kernel. I would mask net-wireless/iwl4965-unicode:1
Oisin - does comment #2 fix your problem?
Comment #2 fixed mine on ~amd64, 2.6.26-gentoo-r1
fixed mine also

Any specific road to follow with that kernel? I never used net-wireless/iwl4965-unicode until before 2 weeks or so when Wifi stopped working and I found a log entry pointing me at a missing firmware-file ...
Ok, I've added warning in 228.57.2.21 and now we check kernel version in 228.57.2.23 for this bug. Fixed. Stefan, you are using too old tuxonice kernel version. Please, upgrade your kernel. I've filled stabilization bug 255987 for newer kernels so I hope soon we'll have more up-to-date kernel in stable branch.
