Can't make wifi 5100 work. Is it an ES?

Bought the 5100 (512AN_HMW) online and I'm having trouble making it work under Linux with the iwlagn driver and the latest firmware.

Dmesg gives me this:

iwlagn: Intel(R) Wireless WiFi Link AGN driver for Linux, 2.6.33-ARCH-ks
iwlagn: Copyright(c) 2003-2009 Intel Corporation
iwlagn 0000:0c:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17
iwlagn 0000:0c:00.0: setting latency timer to 64
iwlagn 0000:0c:00.0: Detected Intel Wireless WiFi Link 5100AGN REV=0x50
iwlagn 0000:0c:00.0: Unsupported (too old) EEPROM VER=0x114 < 0x11a CALIB=0x1 < 0x4
iwlagn 0000:0c:00.0: PCI INT A disabled
iwlagn: probe of 0000:0c:00.0 failed with error -22

What's going on in that log? Could it be that I bought an engineering sample?
