[Bug 453064] Re: Incorrect Intel firmware file name
Ok the standard firmware files on my lucid install are these: b1dc5068cd536a97af7e3c0090a5a632d09ab2f3 /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-5000-2.ucode f06ff86c8baa8616de584f8b0fff072a9aab6a44 /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-5000-1.ucode And the lucid lbm (which is based on 2.6.33) contains this: b1dc5068cd536a97af7e3c0090a5a632d09ab2f3 ./firmware/iwlwifi/iwlwifi-5000-ucode-8.24.2.12/iwlwifi-5000-2.ucode Those appear to be correctly named based on the reporters checksums. This seems to have been fixed when we stopped mangling names for LBM in lucid.

Same problem here with a HP 4710s laptop (Intel 5100AGN) with Ubuntu Karmic 64 bits. Normal emailing, surfing the web works okay. I also use XBMC (media center) and when streaming movie wireless from the laptop to xbox/xbmc it randomly stops the connection. Doing a dmesg | grep error gives a Microcode SW error. Checked with dmesg | grep iwlagn also gives the 'Please use API V2' message. Symbolic link fixed it. While this may be a Low importance to the majority of users, it was definitely medium/high to me. This should be fixed in backports or wherever it should, not a symbolic link. -- Incorrect Intel firmware file name https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/453064 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

id like to confirm that this is an issue on the acer timeline 3810T with backports installed. Also the fix suggested works, could we look at getting this ajusted in backports to stop the sleek boot process being interrupted? -- Incorrect Intel firmware file name https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/453064 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Same Here I have an email into intel to find out if having that
message actually makes the driver use v1 features though, since my
wireless with the 5300 is the most stable on 5GHz that I have ever had
with linux... The v1 firmware, while not having as fast of speed with
40mhz fat channels, is solid on keeping the connection in this combo
currently...
