iwn Driver for intel 4965 WLAN adapter

fellow daring -CURRENT members,

    Firstly we aren't so daring -CURRENT has been perfect for me for around
1 year -- in any event i'm struggling with my intel 4965 and was wondering
if i might be able to brainstorm with a few of you -- firstly i have an
ibm(lenovo-ack) x61 tablet -- i initially loaded the standard module if_iwn
-- and immediatley noted the dmesg cry for help saying to enable the
legal.intel_iwn.license_ack=1 in /boot/loader.conf -- once having done that
i rebooted my machine so that iwnfw (firmware) could be loaded -- once this
was loaded i was under the impression that i would be scott free and go
about my "ifconfig iwn0 up scan" or "ifconfig iwn0 up ssid crazylegs" and
then dhclient from there.

negative -- [ifconfig iwn0 up scan] returns : "ifconfig: unable to get scan
results" and [ifconfig iwn0 ssid crazylegs] returns : "ifconfig: SIOCS80211:
Invalid argument"

i'm completely confused and have done a fair bit of googling on this --
nothing really comes up too definitively -- i've also built this directly
into the kernel as well -- both the module and the built in versions of this
driver return the exact same thing for me -- any ideas ladies and gents?

respectfully

-jt
