 firmware inclusion

 ipw and iwi now use firmware(9) and so references to ifwfw(4) are 
 obsolete:
 
    "This driver requires the firmware built with the ipwfw module to
     work."
 
 This sentence can be eliminated.
 
    "For the loaded firmware to be enabled for use the license at"
 
 Should probably be changed to
 
    "For the IBM firmware to be enabled for use the license at"
 
 Also, the references to ipwfw(4) in the SEE ALSO section should be 
 removed.
