This project was created by Intel to enable support for the Intel
PRO/Wireless 2200 Network Connection mini PCI adapter. This project
(IPW2200) is intended to be a community effort as much as is possible
given some working constraints (mainly, no HW documentation is available).

Notes from UPDATING
These upgrade notes are taken from /usr/ports/UPDATING
  • 2006-04-18
    Affects: users of net/{ipw,iwi}-firmware
    Author: flz@FreeBSD.org
    Reason: 
      Some changes in the way ipw(4) and iwi(4) work lead to fundamental
      changes in ipw-firmware and iwi-firmware ports. Since these drivers
      are now using loadable kernel modules as firmware, two new ports have
      been created: net/ipw-firmware-kmod and net/iwi-firmware-kmod.
    
      You should not be able to install the wrong one since detection is
      based on your FreeBSD version. Trying to install the wrong port will
      result in an error message (port marked as IGNORE).

Remove the FreeBSD KEYWORD from all rc.d scripts where it appears.
We have not checked for this KEYWORD for a long time now, so this
is a complete noop, and thus no PORTREVISION bump. Removing it at
this point is mostly for pedantic reasons, and partly to avoid
perpetuating this anachronism by copy and paste to future scripts.

- Add iwi-firmware, Intel Pro/Wireless Lan 2200 firmware to be used
in conjunction with iwi(4). iwi(4) had already been included in HEAD, but
according to Damien Bergamini, there are no plans to MFC it to RELENG_5.
There is an option (WITH_)MODULE to build and install an iwi(4) module
from a snapshot if you're running RELENG_5.

Note: As of the date of this commit, it seems there are issues with the
iwi(4) snapshot and you might experience some problems.
