Looking at the Source RPMs for that package:

Fedora:
iwlwifi-4965-ucode-4.44.17.tar.gz ==> iwlwifi-4965.ucode
iwlwifi-4965-ucode-4.44.1.20.tar.gz ==> iwlwifi-4965-1.ucode

RHEL5:
iwlwifi-4965-ucode-4.44.17.tar.gz ==> iwlwifi-4965.ucode

So what I think is happening is that the iwl4965 driver is requesting
the 4.44.1.20 firmware for the card in my laptop (HP Compaq TC4200) and
I am effectively forcing it to load the 4.44.17 firmware instead - I
have no idea what the ultimate effects of that are...

If you let me know the BZ entry number, I'll add this information.
