Topic
A new iwl6000-firmware package that works with the iwlagn driver in the
latest Red Hat Enterprise Linux kernels to enable support for Intel
Wireless WiFi Link 6000 Series AGN Adapters is now available.
Description
iwlagn is a kernel driver module for the Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN,
5100AGN, 5300AGN, 5350AGN, 5150AGN, 1000BGN and 6000AGN series of devices.
The iwlagn driver requires firmware loaded on the device in order to
function.
This new iwl6000-firmware package provides the firmware required by iwlagn
to enable Intel Wireless WiFi Link 6000 Series AGN Adapters (aka iwl6000
devices). (BZ#526292)
All users of the iwlagn driver, especially those requiring iwl6000 support,
should install this new package, which provides this enhancement.
