Why is iwlwifi still at version 1.2.23?
Is there some problem with it?

I assume you are referring to the out of tree driver available from intellinuxwireless.org.

iwlwifi has been included in the kernel since 2.6.24, for this reason development has shifted to focus on upstream. The repository at intellinuxwireless.org has not been receiving changes since release of 1.2.23 - all changes go directly upstream. You can use the latest upstream driver by utilizing the compat-wireless project
(http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Download). Currently the upstream driver also has version number 1.2.23 - even tough it received significant changes since the out of tree release of 1.2.23. To reduce this confusion we did send a version update to the development tree (making the in kernel iwlwifi be version 1.2.26), this change is still to be applied.

Version numbering does make less sense now that we are in the kernel ... please be assured that you are using the latest driver when you are using the compat-wireless project.
