Bug#449235: Intel wireless firmware in firmware-nonfree

[Matt Taggart <taggart@debian.org>]

I also would like to see the various Intel wireless firmware in the 
firmware-nonfree package.

1.) The Intel 3945 adapter was previously supported by the ipw3945 driver
  http://ipw3945.sourceforge.net/

but that was deprecated starting with 2.6.24, and replaced with the new 
Intel Wireless WiFi Link drivers
  http://intellinuxwireless.org/

which provide a driver for the 3945 and also the 4965, both are in upstream 
2.6.24 but need the microcode available at
  http://intellinuxwireless.org/?n=Downloads

The license is at
  http://intellinuxwireless.org/LICENSE.iwlwifi-ucode
  
and they have a licenses FAQ at
  http://intellinuxwireless.org/?n=FAQ&s=license


2.) In addition to the firmware for the ipw2200 mentioned by the original 
submitter, there is also the other legacy ipw2100
  http://ipw2100.sourceforge.net/
(I didn't look at the license though)


If the licenses are acceptable for non-free please consider including these 
firmwares.

Thanks,
