I've upgraded my kernel this morning, and I still have the same
problem.  Loading iwi_bss first doesn't help.  I'm using the
iwifw module.

% jarjarbinks:~:102# cat /usr/src.jarjar/sys/CVS/Tag 
% D2007.04.11.20.00.00

% kern.osreldate: 700037

% jarjarbinks:~:105# cat /boot/loader.conf
% hw.pci.allow_unsupported_io_range=1
% 
% beastie_disable="YES"
% verbose_loading="YES"
% 
% if_bge_load="YES"
% legal.intel_iwi.license_ack=1

As soon as I start devd(8) or wpa_supplicant(8), I get:

% iwi0: timeout waiting for iwi_bss firmware initialization to complete
% iwi0: could not load boot firmware iwi_bss

This time I've attached my kernel configuration file :-).

Note that I'm using Suleiman's stackgap and mmap_random patches,
but AFAIU this only affects userland, so I don't think this is
relevant in this case.  But in doubt:

Thank you.
Best regards,
