For the time being,
0. su - root
1. just unpack the tar file into an empty directory:
     mkdir ~/tmpdir
2. Untar the file there:
     tar -C ~/tmpdir -zxpf  {The path leading up 
to}/iwlwifi-6000-ucode-9.221.4.1.tgz 
<http://intellinuxwireless.org/iwlwifi/downloads/iwlwifi-6000-ucode-9.221.4.1.tgz>
3. cd iwlwifi-6000-ucode-9.221.4.1
4. cp iwlwifi-6000-4.ucode  /lib/firmware
5. sync; sleep 1; sync; sleep 1; reboot

During reboot, the driver will automatically look for iwlwifi-6000-4.ucode
and load it into the wifi card.

Good luck.
