Hi,
Due to a packaging error, we've re-released the 5000 uCode version
8.83.5.1.
The updated version of firmware is available for download from
http://intellinuxwireless.org/?n=Downloads
The old, wrongly packaged version has the following sha1sums:
bff3bfce6a31ad94be32b4c204ff8819b0cd03fd
iwlwifi-5000-ucode-8.83.5.1.tgz
8d94177b509be3fb653ce8ba0c633244e4abf5f3
iwlwifi-5000-ucode-8.83.5.1/iwlwifi-5000-5.ucode
The new version these:
e70cc4b2249824a6b17ce9b9ae5087942c762213
iwlwifi-5000-ucode-8.83.5.1.tgz
22bf6093ed8204027cc3207c739d2cab9cc92ea3
iwlwifi-5000-ucode-8.83.5.1/iwlwifi-5000-5.ucode
The only change is removing the advertising for multiple interface
support which is not actually present in this microcode.

The version I get from:
wget http://www.intellinuxwireless.org/iwlwifi/downloads/iwlwifi-5000-ucode-8.83.5.1.tgz
matches the sha1sum values listed above for the "wrongly packaged" version.

So, you are going to release a different version of the file but
with the _same_ release number? Couldn't you at least name it
iwlwifi-5000-ucode-8.83.5.1-1.tgz or something?

BTW, this name suggestions sucks... 8.83.5.1.1 or 8.83.5.2 would be
better for packaging purposes (at least for RPM).

this is really not an official build, so the build# stay the same. I am
ok to rename to anything, but the internal build# will not changed.

Which is the unofficial build? The one that was previously released?
Or the new one? I am presuming that the one originally released is
the "unofficial" one...
I appreciate your situation, but using the same release number for
a new release (even if it is the "official" one) is a really bad
release policy. Just for your own sanity I would think that you
would want a new release number -- even if you just did a rebuild
and changed nothing but that number.

Fully agree, I will ask for a new build and push it to URL. not sure it
can happen today, but I will try to make it happen before EOW
