I had a chance to test the driver more throughly today. It can't connect to 
some access points. Sometimes reboot helps, sometimes not. I didn't experience 
this with the driver currently present in the tree; well, I used 
/usr/ports/net/iwi-firmware (not the kmod version). This can be the case. When 
I run the 2 following commands in the script it sometimes fails to load the 
firmware properly:
# ifconfig iwi0 inet 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
# iwiconfig -i iwi0 -d /boot/firmware -m bss
It seems that if_iwi module needs some time to initialize the card properly (I 
have a 2915 one); and it's really ready to boot a firmware in several 
milliseconds.
