Hello, think of it as different versions of kernel releases. Each release has its own patches that fix issues for that release. You should pay attention to features offered in higher revisions from one you are currently on. Unless I hit bug in release I am on currently, and / or do not care about newer features, I tend to stay where things are stable for me.

RE: why I should or should not update to the 7.4.x line when I'm presently running a 7.2.x

Only if you care about ILOM 3.x, as 7.2.x is support for ILOM 2.x. 7.4.x and 7.3.x are for ILOM 3.x.

Hope this helps.

SYNOPSIS

     To compile this module into the kernel, place the following line in your kernel configuration file:

	   device ipwfw

     This will include three firmware images inside the kernel.  If you want to pick only the firmware image for the mode you want to operate your
     network adapter in choose one of the following:

	   device ipwbssfw

	   ipw_bss_load="YES"
	   ipw_ibss_load="YES"
	   ipw_monitor_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

     This module provides access to firmware sets for the Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 series of IEEE 802.11 adapters.  It may be statically linked
     into the kernel, or loaded as a module.

     For the loaded firmware to be enabled for use the license at /usr/share/doc/legal/intel_ipw/LICENSE must be agreed to by adding the following
     line to loader.conf(5):
