i had the same here. 
i just created /boot/firmeware and copied the firmware-files to it and iwi 
worked without iwicontrol.

the firmware-path is specified in sys/dev/iwi/if_iwi.c

fgast at hagbard:\> pwd
/usr/src/sys/dev/iwi
fgast at hagbard:\> grep -n  boot/firmware *
if_iwi.c:2563:  snprintf(path, sizeof path, "/boot/firmware/%s.fw", name);


hth.
