The firmware have entered Debian-Testing, which means that they will be
in Lenny. However we have merged the packages in a package named
firmware-ipw2x00.
If you installed one of the packages I provided previously, you should
uninstall it manually, then download and install the new one from
testing. (because the new package don't conflict with the old one, this
would lead to an error message when you upgrade to Lenny, like below).
