Yes,  Bernhard Schmidt has done some great work with the Intel
wireless devices lately.  I would suggest testing against the latest
8-stable, as it looks like everything in iwn(4) has been MFC'ed at
this point.  I have cc'ed Bernhard so that he might correct any of my
suppositions, as I do not have this exact hardware.

You might want to try 8.1 Beta 1 images as a test point, as it looks
like they are in the process of propagating to at least some of the
mirrors.

I found the D-Link DWA-643 (rev A1) expresscard to work well with the
ath(4) driver.  Just do not expect hotswap to work for any expresscard
at this point.

Good Luck
