to compile I had to link the extracted wpi-freebsd/wpi directory to
/usr/src/sys/dev/wpi

then I have to load the modules in the following order
kldload firmware.ko (well mines in kernel but if yours isnt)
kldload wpi_ucode.ko
kldload if_wpi.ko

And occasionally I loose the interface and need to
kldunload wpi_ucode
kldunload if_wpi
kldload wpi_ucode

It works well enough for me but I know other people havent got it working.

I wish I knew, Damien stopped developing for FreeBSD cause of
disagreements with other developers (he says something about it in a
kerneltrap interview if i remember rightly. Luca Morettoni one of the
Freesbie developers said he'd have a look at it last time i sent a link
to it to one of the freebsd lists, but I havent heard more since then.
Sadly I'm not a coder and wouldnt know where to start with it myself.
