Subject: iwlwifi 5000 uCode available

Hi,

Version 8.24.2.12 of uCode for Intel Wireless WiFi Link 5100AGN,
5300AGN, and 5350AGN is now available for download from
http://intellinuxwireless.org/?n=Downloads

To use this firmware your driver will need to know about the API change.
This patch has just been sent upstream [1].

This ucode includes the fix for the "wrong command queue" problem that
is tracked in [2].

Changes:
1. Move TXPOWER_DBM from 0x98 to 0x95
2. Add Baseband Filter calibration
3. Improve other built-in radio calibrations, fix execution order
4. Fix "wrong queue" bug due to occasional command serial number
management
5. More reliable scans (including full active dwell time after
auto-switch from passive to active scan)
6. More reliable NULL packet Tx (scan-related)
7. More robust RF-kill support
8. Tune up some hardware timings
9. MAC access wakeup fix
10. Better TSF calculation
11. Minor improvements to debugging
12. Sync with bug fixes from factory
