Bug#497593: new iwlwifi firmware available

[Matt Taggart <taggart@debian.org>]

As of December 24, 2008, and according to

 http://intellinuxwireless.org/?p=iwlwifi&n=downloads

The latest version for 3945 is 15.28.2.8
The latest version for 4965 is 228.57.2.23

It would be nice to get these updated in the non-free that will freeze
with lenny. I know the lenny kernel is frozen and that changing these
firmware blobs might introduce risk to people using these devices, I
think that because they are non-free the best option is to ship the
latest version for use with lenny for the following reasons.

* Ensure support for the most and newest devices
* Ensure support for new hardware for the longest amount of time
   before users need to backport or install by hand
* Ensure (hopefully) the least number of upstream bugs
* If a user running the current version has a problem, they would just
   be told to try the latest version. Better to provide the
   latest version by default and if a user has a problem, tell them
   to try an older version.
* Intel has their own QA process, debian shouldn't need to do it for
   them (especially for firmware and without source)

Thanks,
