Hi,

It's been several months since iwl6050 support was merged to mainline,

    commit e1228374d648efe451973bc5f3d1f9a8e943ec0b
    Author: Jay Sternberg <jay.e.sternberg@linux.intel.com>
    Date:   Mon Jan 19 15:30:34 2009 -0800

	iwlwifi: add recognition of Intel WiFi Link 6000 and 6050 Series

and hardware is shipping,

02:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation WiMAX/WiFi Link 6050 Series (rev 35)

but the firmware isn't yet in linux-firmware.git nor on
intellinuxwireless.org.

Any ETA on a release?

Thanks,
-andy

http://intellinuxwireless.org/iwlwifi/downloads/iwlwifi-6000-ucode-9.193.4.1.tgz
?

I don't think the 6050 need a separate firmware.

Yes, it does; it's asking for iwlwifi-6050-4.ucode on boot.  (I was
suprised too.)

Hi Andy,

The firmware is in process of being tested. We are working on getting it
released externally. When the firmware is released you will see an
announcement on linux-wireless mailing list. The firmware will be
available from http://intellinuxwireless.org/?n=Downloads at that time.

Isn't Release-Early-Release-Often the usual Linux policy? Or is there
some regulatory requirement at work here?

FWIW, iwlwifi-6050-ucode-9.201.4.1.tgz was released this past week, and
is working fine on my "Advanced-N + WiMAX 6250" 8086:0089 (rev 35) with
2.6.35-rc1-00194-gaef4b9a.
