got the "if_iwi.ko" kernel module working under FreeBSD-5.4-RELEASE-p1,
but every time I compile my custom kernel, I manualy have to "cp"
if_iwi.ko from /boot/kernel.old to /boot/kernel to keep it working.

Using the files:
iwi-firmware-1.2.tbz	# to control Intel/Pro wireless 2915abg miniPCI
iwi-freebsd-1.3.4.tgz	# driver used for FreeBSD-5.3
			# driver works under FreeBSD-5.4

the file:
!!!! "iwi-freebsd-1.4.2.tgz" is only for FreeBSD-6.x !!!!

QUESTION:
Is there any way to enable for driver build under FreeBSD-5.4 ???
I would like to take the "#" off, but "config my-kernel" is complaining

# my-KERNEL-file
# Wireless NIC cards
device		wlan		# 802.11 support
# device	wlan_wep	# WEP crypto <-----
# device	iwi		# Intel/PRO 2915abg miniPCI <----

to be able to rebuild the "iwi" driver support in the source ??

There is source code around for OpenBSD and DragenFly,
how about FreeBSD ??
