I have posted a snippet previously =97 you basically search for "firmware=3D..." in kernel modules.

In this case, 6000{,g2{a,b}} are different cards, and -[456] are different firmware APIs, with multiple APIs supported by a given kernel. See, e.g., /usr/src/linux/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-6000.c. --=20 Maxim Kammerer Libert=E9 Linux: http://dee.su/liberte
