Ah, hrm, hadn't ever picked up on that requirement, I was going solely on my
reading of the license and "prior art" -- your iwl4965-firmware package. :)

As I understand it, there won't be an iwl5000 kernel module, the iwl4965 and
iwl5000 chipsets will be driven by the same kernel module, which is going to be
renamed to something else (with a modalias of iwl4965). No real reason it
couldn't be backported to F8 if it can be brought back to F9, since the two
kernels are quite similar... Though I'm not sure how many people with iwl5000
hardware would still be running F8, since the chip is newer than F9. Could be
retro-fits or KDE3 holdouts, I guess... :) Need to put mine in sooner or later
and see what I can see...

Oh yeah:

Package APPROVED.
