Perfect. Is "220BG" a typo? I see that iwi(4) supports 2200BG/2225BG
and so on. If it _is_ a typo, try this:
echo 'legal.intel_iwi.license_ack=1' >> /boot/loader.conf
echo 'if_iwi_load="YES"' >> /boot/loader.conf
echo 'iwi_bss_load="YES"' >> /boot/loader.conf
echo 'iwi_ibss_load="YES"' >> /boot/loader.conf
echo 'iwi_monitor_load="YES"' >> /boot/loader.conf
(Note, the differentiation between the single- and double-quotes.)
After a reboot, you should see iwi0 in ifconfig(8) output. (I'm not
aware of a way to acknowledge the license agreement without a reboot.)
Then you should be able to configure your wlan0 device similarly to your
Presario.
Hope this helps.
