Well, even after adding iwm0 I notice high latency and packet loss anywhere from 15-50%. This occurs randomly when the device is either 2m, 10m, or 30m away from the access point. I did testing to verify I'm seeing 65-80% signal strength during some of the testing, but there's still loss even at that strength. For now I'll hang an iogear GWU637 off em0 and bridge to the wireless net using that. Maybe things will get better with iwm(4) in the future.
