    I wasn't able to bring the interface up either before last commit two
    days ago in -CURRENT. It would also be worth setting both
    net.wlan.debug and net.wlan.0.debug sysctls to -1, but I don't think
    these are available in RELENG_5.

    I think it's mostly impossible as the iwi(4) should be using the new
    Sam Leffler's net80211 framework which is not going to be MFC'd to
    RELENG_5. I believe you should definitely try -CURRENT.
