Hi Steve, sorry, I wasn't aware of the licensing issue.
The firmware comes from openSuSE 11.1. I did a quick search and found out that they are included in the following (rpm) packages: iwl3945-ucode iwl4965-ucode iwl5000-ucode zypper info returns this (shortened):: Name: iwl3945-ucode Version: 15.28.1.8-1.7 Name: iwl4965-ucode Version: 228.57.2.23-1.1.1 Name: iwl5000-ucode Version: 5.4.A.11-2.9 I had a quick look in the README and LICENSE files which come with the firmware, and it seems that redistribution is allowed as long as the binaries are unchanged and the license files are attached (which I can easily provide, or we can just get the rpm packages which include them as well). Here's an excerpt: Redistribution.
