Is there some reason we don't have a iwl5150-firmware package? Or that /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-5150-2.ucode isn't included in iwl5000-firmware?
Just asking because I was helping someone on #fedora get their Intel 5150ABN working, and it seems that this missing firmware was the reason it wasn't. The firmware is available from http://intellinuxwireless.org/?p=iwlwifi&n=downloads.

Seems like indeed nobody packaged it yet.
Maybe John wants to add it to the iwl5000-firmware package so you should ask him (cc'ed) first before actually submitting a package.

why wouldn't this be part of the linux-firmware general "all firmware" package instead?

Yeah we should move all of them into linux-firmware and make linux-firmware obsolete the separate firmware packages; but this should be done upstream.

* Because the kitchen-sink approach to packaging isn't a good one * Because at some point, in a utopian future, we'd like to be able to replace the binary firmware chunks with free-licensed bits * Because we don't want to force everyone to update everytime one piece of firmware updates
Take your pick.

Just a heads up that iwl5150-firmware has been reviewed at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=558550 and built for F11, F12 and Rawhide. Thanks John for putting the package together so quickly after my initial request!

Heh...sorry for not realizing we needed it prior to that... :-)
