It's because the firmware installs as /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-

but the driver is looking for /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-4965-1.ucode
I fixed it in our laptop configs by doing this:
# ln -s /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-4965.ucode \
/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-4965-1.ucode
Why this is the case I don't know and I was being lazy last week so
I
didn't do anything about it.
under fedora9.x86_64 these are 2 different files.
# ll /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-4965*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 185764 22. Nov 2007
/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-4965-1.ucode
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 191332 14. Jul 2007 /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-
4965.ucode
# rpm -qf /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-4965*
iwl4965-firmware-4.44.1.20-1.noarch
iwl4965-firmware-4.44.1.20-1.noarch
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.
