Bug Description

SRU Justification:

Without the change, the iwlwifi firmware updates in the package are not used. Thus, this change is like adding the files in for the first time. There should be no regression from these changes.

=====

The firmware filenames used to be munged in to lbm-<firmware name> so they don't collide with the stock firmware. Udev has since been changed so that the munging is unnecessary. Unfortunately, the iwlwifi firmware filenames are still munged, so they won't be picked up by the drivers.

The firmware in the package in lucid-proposed looks correctly named, and it works for my card.
