Adding this symlink fixes things for me: rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 2009-11-04 11:01 /lib/firmware/2.6.31-14-generic/lbm-iwlwifi-5000-2.ucode -> /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-5000-2.ucode
It may be co-incidence, but without the symlink I was experiencing very unstabie connections - Thinkpad R500, Karmic amd64 - whereas with it things are stable. Without the symlink I get logged: [ 40.952984] iwlagn 0000:03:00.0: firmware: requesting lbm-iwlwifi-5000-2.ucode [ 42.076259] iwlagn 0000:03:00.0: lbm-iwlwifi-5000-2.ucode firmware file req failed: -2 [ 42.077434] iwlagn 0000:03:00.0: firmware: requesting lbm-iwlwifi-5000-1.ucode [ 42.290014] iwlagn 0000:03:00.0: Loaded firmware lbm-iwlwifi-5000-1.ucode, which is deprecated.

Restarting 0x2000000 As well as numerous Kernel oops'es.
