I did that on 6.1-RC FreeBSD 6.1-RC #1: Sun Apr 9 20:07:42 CEST 2006
and know I have the following modules available:

fk at TP51 /boot/kernel $ls /boot/kernel/*iwi*
/boot/kernel/if_iwiNG.ko*    /boot/kernel/iwi_ibss.ko*
/boot/kernel/iwi_boot.ko*    /boot/kernel/iwi_monitor.ko*
/boot/kernel/iwi_bss.ko*

Is there still something missing? No matter which module I try
to kldload first, it always fails with messages like:

KLD if_iwiNG.ko: depends on firmware - not available
KLD iwi_bss.ko: depends on firmware - not available
KLD iwi_boot.ko: depends on firmware - not available
KLD if_iwiNG.ko: depends on firmware - not available
KLD iwi_bss.ko: depends on firmware - not available
KLD iwi_ibss.ko: depends on firmware - not available
KLD iwi_boot.ko: depends on firmware - not available

I thought the firmware was in the iwi_*.ko files?
