Who can let me know how to activate the interface of Intel 4965 upon

On what OS?
Under Windows, wireless adapters don't work very well (except maybe,
to a limited degree, on Vista, if the driver is a native 802.11
driver, and even that doesn't give you monitor mode).
Under Linux, you'd want a system with a 2.6.18 or greater kernel, with
the mac80211 wireless stack:

and
http://intellinuxwireless.org/index.php?p=iwlwifi
says of the iwlwifi driver for those adapters that it's been in the
mainstream kernel since 2.6.24.
Under OpenBSD, you'd need a version of the OS with the iwn driver.
NetBSD appears to have picked up that driver this month, but that
probably means it's only in -current. It appears it's being ported to
FreeBSD as well:
