Just to get the facts straight and assembled in one place:

You are running a somewhat recent RELENG_6, have net/iwi-firmware-kmod 
installed and "device iwi" and "options firmware" built into your kernel?

When do you get the "Can't load firmware" messages?  What does kldstat [-v] 
say before and after that point?  Can you try "kldload iwi_bss" before and 
see if that gets you up and running?
