The version I get from:

	wget http://www.intellinuxwireless.org/iwlwifi/downloads/iwlwifi-5000-ucode-8.83.5.1.tgz

matches the sha1sum values listed above for the "wrongly packaged" version.

So, you are going to release a different version of the file but
with the _same_ release number?  Couldn't you at least name it
iwlwifi-5000-ucode-8.83.5.1-1.tgz or something?
