I have the same problem with my dell inspiron 6400. My wireless card is also intel 4965 agn.
Network-manager don't see my card but I have this in the file /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules :
# This file was automatically generated by the /lib/udev/write_net_rules
# program, run by the persistent-net-generator.rules rules file.
#
# You can modify it, as long as you keep each rule on a single
# line, and change only the value of the NAME= key.

So, I think the card is detected by the system but it doesn't work.
