The man page has..
SEE ALSO
     an(4), ath(4), ipw(4), pci(4), wi(4), wlan(4), ifconfig(8),
     iwicontrol(8,) wicontrol(8)

     The IWI Web Page, http://damien.bergamini.free.fr/ipw/

There is no iwicontrol(8) page, and the URL goes to Damien's page. If you go 
through to the Download area you can get the iwi firmware and iwicontrol 
source but it seems like an oversight that a) iwicontrol isn't in base, and 
b) the iwi firmware isn't available as a port, since both of these for ipw 
are available.
