I just upgraded a laptop to FreeBSD RELENG_7 checked out on 20071016.  
Previously, iwi0 had worked OK under FreeBSD 6.2.  After updating to 7, 
though, iwi0 reports "firmware error" and nothing more happens.  I have 
set legal.intel_iwi.license_ack=1 in /boot/loader.conf.  wpa_supplicant 
and dhclient are running with the same configurations that worked under 
FreeBSD 6.  I'm using the GENERIC kernel with SCHED_ULE instead of 
SCHED_4BSD, and the loaded modules are:

ifconfig iwi0 reports:

I've tried setting debug.iwi=1, and the kernel messages regarding iwi0 are:

Oct 25 08:09:11 aquarius kernel: iwi0: <Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG> mem 0xdfcfd000-0xdfcfdfff irq 17 at device 3.0 on pci3

Oct 25 08:10:57 aquarius kernel: iwi_newstate: SCAN -> SCAN flags 0x1

Any ideas?
