What is easiest and less time consuming:
this:
$ mv /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-5000-exp.ucode /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-5000-exp.ucode.not_use
or this:
$ make menuconfig
navigate to find option and edit it
$ make modules
$ make modules_install
?

Not really. I believe someone who download a tarball, unpack it and copy
files to /lib/firmware is pretty much aware what he/she is doing.
