Description:   Opened: 2007-08-11 07:29 0000 
There is a new version (1.0.0-1, I bumped it locally to 1.0.0_p1) available for
iwlwifi and it compiles and works here. According to the ChangeLog, the kernel
panic bug has been fixed.

For the iwl4965-ucode it seems that Intel did a change in version numbering.
The most recent version is: iwlwifi-4965-ucode-4.44.1.18.tgz
The ebuild had two issues:
1) You should install to /$(get_libdir)/firmware, not just /lib/firmware
2) The name of the firmware in the package is iwlwifi-4965-1.ucode, but the
driver still looks for iwlwifi-4965.ucode, I solve it by using "newins",
another option would probably be to patch iwlwifi

BTW, Im not bumping the firmware as it is suppose to be incompatible with the
current driver (I believe it is for the unstable version of the driver).
