The filename you saved on your memory stick is named ipw-firmware-1.3p0.tgz, not ipw-firmware-1.3.p0.gz.

".tgz" is a shorted use of ".tar.gz".

The pkg_add program will append ".tgz" and look for any release/patch levels to the file name you specify, if the name you specify does not include them. Note my example, above, where I just used "ipw-firmware" without additional information.

When you issue "pkg_add ipw-firmware-1.3.p0.gz", pkg_add looks for a file named "ipw-firmware-1.3.p0.gz.*.tgz" -- which does not exist.
