I'm a bit confused. As far as I see iwlagn needs firmware iwlwifi-4965-2.ucode (?)

# modinfo /lib/modules/2.6.18-128.el5/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwlagn.ko | grep firmware
firmware:       iwlwifi-4965-2.ucode

But we only have iwlwifi-4965.ucode in iwlwifi-4965-ucode-4.44.17-5.sl5

# rpm -ql iwlwifi-4965-ucode-4.44.17-5.sl5
/lib/firmware/LICENSE.iwlwifi-4965-ucode
/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-4965.ucode
/usr/share/doc/iwlwifi-4965-ucode-4.44.17
/usr/share/doc/iwlwifi-4965-ucode-4.44.17/LICENSE.iwlwifi-4965-ucode
/usr/share/doc/iwlwifi-4965-ucode-4.44.17/README.iwlwifi-4965-ucode

Troy, shouldn't we add iwlwifi-4965-2.ucode to iwlwifi-4965-ucode-4.44.17-5.sl5?
Download it from Intel site:
http://www.intellinuxwireless.org/iwlwifi/downloads/iwlwifi-4965-ucode-228.57.2.23.tgz

Unfortunately, I don't have a iwl4965 hardware for testing.
