I just bought a netbook that sadly came with a wireless chip that is yet to be fully supported on linux, so i decided to swap it for an Intel 5100 AGN 512_HMW.
Linux picks up the card but the module fails to load. here is the output of dmesg | grep iw:
Code:

after reading that message i downloaded the latest firmware from http://intellinuxwireless.org/?n=Downloads and extracted it to /lib/firmware but it still does not work.
i have also tried the latest compat-wireless too and again no luck.
is their anything else i could try?
