Could you try the version of the driver from:
http://people.freebsd.org/~mlaier/firmware-20060125.tgz

It has several fixes and a completely reworked firmware loading.  To use it 
you have to do the following:
1) copy the contents of the above tarball over your source tree
2) apply sys/conf/kmod.mk.diff
3) build and install modules/firmware and modules/iwi_fw
4) build and load modules/iwi

With this you don't need iwicontrol etc. anymore.  Firmware is automatically 
fetched from the iwi_fw modules.

I'm going to commit the firmware loading part shortly and will look at 
importing the iwi changes later.  Would appreciate feedback.
