cat /proc/driver/mpi350/Status will work once you've successfully loaded
the mpi350 module.  look for the "Firmware Version:" line.  there's some
other nice information in there as well.

(note: i have a T30 with Red Hat 9, card firmware 5.00.01 [.03 wouldn't
 work for me] and kernel 2.4.20.  sometimes the wireless connection just
 disappears, but i think that's a heat problem.  one in ten ifup's i have
 to re-insmod mpi350, and sometimes this freezes the machine.)
