Is it (missing firmware) intentional or is it a bug to be fixed?
Intel wifi firmware cannot be distributed with the official installation media due to licensing conflicts. As a workaround, these firmware images are not distributed by OpenBSD, they are distributed by volunteers. Use the Ethernet interface (em0) during your install. Once you boot up the installed system firmware will be downloaded over Ethernet from one of the volunteer firmware mirrors. Once that has been done, wifi on iwn0 will work.
