Um, the crosslinks are a bit confusing, and I'm not certain about this,
but my surmise is that downloadcenter.intel.com is merely sending you
back to the wireless.kernel.org site's iwlwifi _page_, because that page
then further specifies that for 4965AGN you need _not_ iwlwifi but rather
iwlegacy (because 4965AGN's one of several older Intel chip series --
iwlwifi itself being compatible with only current-production Intel chips).

I'm guessing nothing, unless you put in a newer Intel card.  ;->
