Thanks for your help here, it never occurred to me to check the source, 
I'm still a bit of a newbie at this.

Deleted the #if 0...#endif block around the code in if_iwn.c and recompiled.
Running it form the console this time and I can see the error "iwn0: 
IBSS mode not supported" - so it still doesn't seem to be working.  I 
checked over the rest of the source and I don't see anything obvious in 
the header files either.

I think I'm dancing around my limits here, I think I'll just have to 
find a different way to connect this machine, or just get a usb adapter.

Just to make sure I'm on track here, i did a kldunload if_iwn, then ran 
make, then did a kldload if_iwn - this is the first time for me to 
recompile a kernel module so I want to make sure I'm not messing this up.

It somewhat makes sense for it not to work though, I assume theres a 
reason it was commented out to begin with.
