Shoot me now for the lack of science in this, but i too have an iwi card
using the firmware found at the same site.
It all worked fine without wep, then i tried adding wep and it just
stoped. At first i was calling the nwid mydomain.org.
I changed it to wirelessland.mydomain.org and it all just worked, using
128bit wep and dhcpd.
Like i said, no science, no sense. But it worked.
Perhaps it was something todo with the dhcpd, once it worked i just left
it working.

Hi all:
I've bought a new Dell X1 and I'm having problems configuring iwi on
it. The access point is a post 3.5 machine using wi (11b)
After installing -current from yesterday, dmesg reports:
# dmesg | grep iwi
iwi0 at pci2 dev 3 function 0 Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG rev 0x05:
irq 10, address 00:12:f0:0c:6c:75
I've installed the firmware files from damien@ page:
# pkg_add
http://damien.bergamini.free.fr/iwifw/OpenBSD/iwi-firmware-2.2.tgz
(I've noted that the owners of the files in /etc/firmware were
root:wheel instead of root:bin as the rest of the files in that
directory, but it doesn't seem to matter).
After modifying /etc/hostname.iwi0 like other atw (11b) card I have:
# cat /etc/hostname.iwi0
inet 172.26.2.5 255.255.255.0 NONE nwid quark nwkey wep_key
(Adding mode 11b at the end doesn't seem to work)
# ifconfig iwi0
iwi0: flags=8843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500

Does anyone know if I'm doing something wrong? Is it a bug?
TIA
