Each of those filenames is used for a particular firmware API version (*not* an exact version of the firmware). The driver requests the filename corresponding to the newest firmware API version it supports (iwlwifi-1000-5.ucode in this case), and if that fails then it will request older versions. The installer tries to work out what files are missing by looking for error messages about missing files, and as the driver requests all those files it will list all the files. But really you only need one of them. Ben. -- Ben Hutchings If more than one person is responsible for a bug, no one is at fault.
