Hi,
When reviewing our firmware packages I noticed a few missing iwlwifi
firmwares according to kernel-3,3,1
# modinfo iwlwifi
filename:
/lib/modules/3.3.1-desktop-2.mga2/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwlwifi.ko.xz
alias: iwlagn
license: GPL

<ilw@linux.intel.com>
version: in-tree:d
description: Intel(R) Wireless WiFi Link AGN driver for Linux
[...]
firmware: iwlwifi-6000g2a-6.ucode
firmware: iwlwifi-100-6.ucode
firmware: iwlwifi-1000-6.ucode
[...]
Theese three are missing from:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git;a=summary
http://intellinuxwireless.org/?n=Downloads
The API 5 ucodes are awailable, but the driver expect API 6...
So..., when will they be available ?

We don't really know, but it was really just due to a bug in the driver,
it should use MODULE_FIRMWARE with the latest released rather than the
latest testing version -- there's a patch in our queue to fix that.

Any pointers to that patch ?
We are entering RC stage in less than 2 weeks.
