Well for "/lib/firmware" names, or linux-firmware.git tree names,
they're just iwlwifi-<hwcode>-<API>.ucode. So if you download the
iwlwifi-6000g2b-ucode-17.168.5.2.tgz file from intellinuxwireless.org,
you'll get a tar file containing iwlwifi-6000g2b-5.ucode, with that
specific version, but the (Linux) driver only cares about the API level
for compatibility, so nothing else is part of the filename.

In linux-firmware.git we try to just keep the latest version(s) of each
API level.
