Apple doesn't update the iPod-Software-Updater packages anymore. This means that the old dmg2iso/wrestool method doesn't work for
newer firmware releases. Starting with iTunes 7.4.1 the process became easier anyway: You don't have to download ALL images anymore.
To obtain the latest firmware, just do what iTunes 7.4.1 does:
Step 1: Obtain the URL-List
wget -O list.gz http://ax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net//WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/com.apple.jingle.appserver.client.MZITunesClientCheck/version
Step 2: Extract it
gunzip list.gz # The webserver does always send a compressed version
Step 3:
Open 'list' in a text editor/pager. The file is just a XML document with some interesting URLs.
Interesting stuff (as of 2007-09-16):

-> Checkout http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61688 to identify our iPod model.
-> Please note that the description of some URLs is just a guess. Don't blame me if the upgrade doesn't work.
-> It may be a good idea to create a backup of your old firmware before upgrading (dd if=/dev/ipod1 of=firmware_backup)
Step 4: Upgrade (Example for a 5th Gen iPod (30 or 80GB)
Download the firmware archive for our iPod model:
wget http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/iPod/SBML/osx/bundles/061-2790.20061206.iPr9t/iPod_25.1.2.1.ipsw
This is just a zipfile, go ahead and extract it:
unzip iPod_25.1.2.1.ipsw
(ignore the manifest.plist file. you'll just need the Firmware-* file)
Ok, now you can copy the file to your iPods firmware partition:
dd if=Firmware-25.6.2.1 of=/dev/sda1
sync
Unplug the iPod and it should start to re-flash itself.
