What did I do wrong?

dmesg output:
iwi0: <Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG> mem 0xa0202000-0xa0202fff irq 11 at device 2.0 on pci4
iwi0: Ethernet address: 00:16:6f:c3:e3:48
iwi0: [ITHREAD]
iwi_bss: You need to read the LICENSE file in /usr/share/doc/legal/intel_iwi/.
iwi_bss: If you agree with the license, set legal.intel_iwi.license_ack=1 in /boot/loader.conf.
module_register_init: MOD_LOAD (iwi_bss_fw, 0xc4c535a0, 0) error 1
firmware_get: failed to load firmware image iwi_bss
iwi0: could not load firmware

I tried to bring up the interface with

# ifconfig iwi0 up

And I have the following entry in /boot/loader.conf

# intel/wireless
set legal.intel_iwi.license_ack=1
if_iwi_load="YES
Shouldn't that be:

legal.intel_iwi.license_ack=1
if_iwi_load="YES"
