N.B. wpi(4) != ipw(4) !!! The latter is for the - now ancient - 1st
generation centrino cards (2100). The former - supporting the 3945
cards - is in early stages of development (at least the port to FreeBSD
is). The latest attempt is located at:
http://www.clearchain.com/wiki/Wpi

Note that this is not yet recommended for consumer use. Eventhough
testing is welcome and encouraged, this work is simply not yet in a
stable enough state that documentation can be made available. In
general, the tarball from the page above supplies you with everything you
need (other than a FreeBSD src-tree). There is no need to download
additional firmware. The focus, for now, is HEAD so testing in RELENG_6
is not supported.

The best advice, as a user and for now, seems to be to try ndis (though I
have heard reports that it doesn't work for the ipw hardware), or wait
for the driver to hit the tree.

free to be a specific as possible, as I suspect there are many others
who wish to get this working (and are not used to applying
"non-standard" drivers.) Many thanks
