iwlwifi-5000-5.ucode is target to fix a 11n related issue we seen in the field (especially for Ubuntu), so it is important for people to use -5 version of uCode. in order to allow driver to pick up the correct uCode (-5), we need to move the maximum API version to "5" which is what this patch does Thanks Wey _______________________________________________ stable mailing list [email protected] http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/stable
