Description Alessandro Capogna 2011-12-06 22:12:00 UTC 
[   10.910664] iwlagn 0000:10:00.0: request for firmware file 'iwlwifi-5000-5.ucode' failed.
[   10.911979] iwlagn 0000:10:00.0: request for firmware file 'iwlwifi-5000-4.ucode' failed.
[   10.913074] iwlagn 0000:10:00.0: request for firmware file 'iwlwifi-5000-3.ucode' failed.
[   11.112072] iwlagn 0000:10:00.0: Firmware has old API version. Expected v5, got v2. New firmware can be obtained from http://www.intellinuxwireless.org.
[   11.112077] iwlagn 0000:10:00.0: loaded firmware version 8.24.2.12

with net-wireless/iwl5000-ucode-8.24.2.12 and sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.0.6. No more warning with net-wireless/iwl5000-ucode-8.83.5.1 (with the same kernel)
Comment 1 Myk Taylor 2012-02-28 17:18:48 UTC 
If it is any help, I have been running 8.83.5.1 for quite some time now (almost a year) with no problems whatsoever.  I've found it to be more stable in low-signal conditions than 8.24.2.12.
Comment 2 ScytheMan 2012-03-24 00:30:04 UTC 
I can confirm, that it's working on amd64 since over a year. Please stabilize.
Comment 3 Hypnos 2012-08-04 16:38:46 UTC 
Another vote to stabilize.  This firmware, in addition to eliminating the dmesg warning, also appears to fix a bug for me in which the machine goes into an unrecoverable bad state every several suspend attempts.
