As it happens, I am using the iwn driver. (That is why I happened to
know about it so quickly - incidentally I'm sorry for my snappy tone
last time.)
Are you doing all the "wlan" stuff that CURRENT now requires for
wireless cards - for example, in my rc.conf I have:
wlans_iwn0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="DHCP"
and all subsequent ifconfig and dhclient commands are done using wlan0.
(And also, my guess is that the iwn driver you were using was a backport
to FreeBSD-STABLE, which doesn't have all this wlan stuff, and hence is
incompatible with CURRENT.)
