iwn: Errors during make iwn.ko

[Flavio Junior]

Very thanks Stephen..

With your recomendations and reading (again) iwn and wlan manpage I
achieve get wlan working with -current drivers.

I'd needed to recompile iwn drivers from current and reinstall it and
create manually wlan0 device with ifconfig wlan create wlandev iwn0,
but everything works.

TA.
