Installed from November snapshot, supped to HEAD.
>Description:
iwi(4) has recently changed its behavior with regard to firmware loading,
now doing so automatically when it's placed in /boot/firmware.
The iwi-firmware port however places firmware unconditionally in
/usr/local/share/iwi-firmware. It should be made aware of /boot/firmware
so reinstalling the port resolves the firmware open errors that
result from upgrading.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
Install contents of /usr/local/share/iwi-firmware/ to /boot/firmware
depending on OS version, presumably also conditionally installing the
rc script now the driver can load firmware on its own.
Documenting /boot/firmware in the iwi manpage or so would also help :)
