As it happens, I am using the iwn driver.  (That is why I happened to 
know about it so quickly - incidentally I'm sorry for my snappy tone 
last time.)

Are you doing all the "wlan" stuff that CURRENT now requires for 
wireless cards - for example, in my rc.conf I have:

wlans_iwn0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="DHCP"

and all subsequent ifconfig and dhclient commands are done using wlan0.

(And also, my guess is that the iwn driver you were using was a backport 
to FreeBSD-STABLE, which doesn't have all this wlan stuff, and hence is 
incompatible with CURRENT.)
