Hello all,
I have one Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6205 wifi card which need firmware iwlwifi-6000g2a-4.ucode to support it, but in intel website http://intellinuxwireless.org/?n=Downloads, only iwlwifi-6000g2a-5.ucode firmware exists, where can I download the official version
4 firmware? Thanks in advance!
I also got iwlwifi-6000g2a-4.ucode from one website but maybe it has some problems, this firmware works well with kernel 2.6.37-rc1,
but it seems can't compatible with 2.6.36, there are some "Microcode SW error detected" when enable the card, pls see the following
logs, why this error exist with 2.6.36 kernel but disappeared in 2.6.37-rc1 kernel? and unfortunately, I want to work with 2.6.36 kernel:(.

There's no such thing.

I'm not aware of any such released version, so this must be a test build
or similar.

Since this is a new device, support in 2.6.36 will likely not be
possible. You might be able to modify iwl-6000.c to load a v5 firmware
(set IWL6000G2_UCODE_API_MAX to 5) but we cannot support that and I
don't know that the firmware API didn't change and you'll run into
crashes again.
I believe that the only supported way to get your device working is to
start with 2.6.37 and the latest official -5 firmware image from the
Intel download page.
If you're really stuck on 2.6.36 for some reason, you can use
compat-wireless to backport the driver.

If you need to stay with 2.6.36 kernel, please use compat-wireless which
contain all the necessary support for 6205 device,
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download
The latest and offical supported firmware is iwlwifi-6000g2a-17.168.5.2

Hi Xiao,
Could you please mail me the file iwlwifi-6000g2a-4.ucode. I've been unable to
find it anywhere.
I'm using Ubuntu 10.10, updated to 2.6.35.31 kernel. M expecting to have it
working with it.

Vishal
