I'm not exactly sure for you. The installer did detect the firmware
required and asked if I'd like to load it from USB. I'd say throw in the
NetInstallCD and see.. Come back with what it asks for and then we can
track it down.
$ locate firmware |grep ucode
/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-3945-1.ucode
/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-4965-1.ucode
/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-4965-2.ucode
If I remember correctly the installer was asking for the 4965 ucode.
