Wey-yi,

Will this cause any issues with the existing 2.6.35.12 iwl-5000 driver? Is the version 5 API backwards compatible? Ubuntu installs iwlwifi-5000-5.ucode by default in order to support compat-wireless backports from 2.6.3[678], so I'd hate to break those folks that are using the stock 2.6.35.y driver.
