| Thank you both.  Firmware for the 6200 and 6300 series seems to be
| available from
| 
| <http://intellinuxwireless.org/index.php?n=downloads>
| 
| (the README file included in "iwlwifi-6000-ucode-9.193.4.1.tgz" says

| mentioned that firmware for the 6250 series is not yet available.
|

Isn't that already in head?
