+Intel Wireless WiFi Link 6200AGN and 6300AGN Adapter
+Copyright (C) 2006-2010 Intel Corporation.  All rights reserved.
+
+Microcode Package README.iwlwifi-6000-ucode
+
+INDEX
+
+1. OVERVIEW
+2. INSTALLATION
+3. LICENSE
+
+
+1. OVERVIEW
+
+The file iwlwifi-6000-4.ucode provided in this package must be 
+present on your system in order for the Intel Wireless WiFi Link
+AGN driver for Linux (iwlagn) to operate on your system.
+
+The "-4" in the filename reflects an interface/architecture version number.
+It will change only when changes in new uCode releases make the new uCode
+incompatible with earlier drivers.
+
+On adapter initialization, and at varying times during the uptime of 
+the adapter, the microcode is loaded into the memory on the network 
+adapter.  The microcode provides the low level MAC features including 
+radio control and high precision timing events (backoff, transmit, 
+etc.) while also providing varying levels of packet filtering which can 
+be used to keep the host from having to handle packets that are not of 
+interest given the current operating mode of the device.
+
+2. INSTALLATION
+
+The iwlagn driver will look for the file iwlwifi-6000-4.ucode using the 
+kernel's firmware_class infrastructure. More information can be found under
+Documentation/firmware_class in kernel source. In order to function
+correctly, you need to have this support enabled in your kernel.  When 
+you configure the kernel, you can find this option in the following 
+location:
+
+        Device Drivers ->
+                Generic Driver Options ->
+                        Userspace firmware loading support
+
+
+You can determine if your kernel currently has firmware loader support 
+by looking for the CONFIG_FW_LOADER definition on your kernel's 
+.config.
+
+In addition to having the firmware_class support in your kernel, you
+must also have a working udev and uevent infrastructure configured.
+The steps for installing and configuring udev are very
+distribution specific. 
+
+Once you have the firmware loader in place (or if you aren't sure and 
+you just want to try things to see if it works), you need to install 
+the microcode file into the appropriate location.
+
+Where that appropriate location is depends (again) on your system 
+distribution.  You can typically find this location by looking in the 
+udev scripts of your distro, the default is /lib/firmware.
+
+Installation of the firmware is simply:
+
+        % cp iwlwifi-6000-4.ucode /lib/firmware
+
+You can now load the driver (see the INSTALL and README.iwlwifi provided with
+the iwlwifi package for information on building and using that driver.)
+
