Hi,
It's been several months since iwl6050 support was merged to mainline,
commit e1228374d648efe451973bc5f3d1f9a8e943ec0b
Author: Jay Sternberg <[email protected]>
Date: Mon Jan 19 15:30:34 2009 -0800
iwlwifi: add recognition of Intel WiFi Link 6000 and 6050 Series
and hardware is shipping,
02:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation WiMAX/WiFi Link 6050 Series (rev 35)
but the firmware isn't yet in linux-firmware.git nor on
intellinuxwireless.org.
Any ETA on a release?
Thanks,
-andy

Isn't Release-Early-Release-Often the usual Linux policy? Or is there
some regulatory requirement at work here?

Yes, it does; it's asking for iwlwifi-6050-4.ucode on boot. (I was
suprised too.)

http://intellinuxwireless.org/iwlwifi/downloads/iwlwifi-6000-ucode-9.193.4.1.tgz
?
I don't think the 6050 need a separate firmware.

The firmware is in process of being tested. We are working on getting it
released externally. When the firmware is released you will see an
announcement on linux-wireless mailing list. The firmware will be
available from http://intellinuxwireless.org/?n=Downloads at that time.

FWIW, iwlwifi-6050-ucode-9.201.4.1.tgz was released this past week, and
is working fine on my "Advanced-N + WiMAX 6250" 8086:0089 (rev 35) with
2.6.35-rc1-00194-gaef4b9a.
