How can I parse the microcode (ucode) in iwlwifi to get the version numbers?

The iwlwifi driver loads the microcode file for your wifi adapter at startup. If you want to know the version of the blobs you have on your machine, try Andrew Brampton's script. Run:

## Note the firmware may stored in `/usr/lib`
./ucode.py /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-*.ucode

And compare the output to your journal (dmesg output).

Note that the script works with python2.
