I just upgraded a laptop to FreeBSD RELENG_7 checked out on 20071016.
Previously, iwi0 had worked OK under FreeBSD 6.2. After updating to 7,
though, iwi0 reports "firmware error" and nothing more happens. I have
set legal.intel_iwi.license_ack=1 in /boot/loader.conf. wpa_supplicant
and dhclient are running with the same configurations that worked under
FreeBSD 6. I'm using the GENERIC kernel with SCHED_ULE instead of
SCHED_4BSD, and the loaded modules are:

ifconfig iwi0 reports:

I've tried setting debug.iwi=1, and the kernel messages regarding iwi0 are:

Any ideas?
