Problem still exists on 10.3-Beta2 (and 10-STABLE). Card doesn't have detected
by kernel: "no driver" in dmesg. Despite corresponding device ID's have exist
in <sys/dev/iwn/if_iwn_devid.h> but they are NOT enabled in
<sys/dev/iwn/if_iwn.c> on 10-STABLE. I tried to add these ID's myself and then
corrected the firmware version in <sys/modules/iwnfw/iwn6000g2b/Makefile> as
"iwlwifi-6000g2b-18.168.6.1".

As I saw on forums, these are the steps that people made in order to enable
Centrino 6235 on their 10-X systems. But it didn't work on my 10-STABLE. Device
detected by kernel after changes done but behaves utterly awkward when trying
to UP the interface. Wifi channel changes like crazy with with out-of-range
values like 128 etc. Frequently goes DOWN and UP.

I also tried ndis(4) and ndisload solutions by using Windows XP driver but it
didn't help either (or maybe I couldn't do it properly). I'm trying to find a
solution rather than replacing/buy any hardware.
