 Yet the sysctl variable is on the man page
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=iwi&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+8-current&format=html

The firmware module was created and installed.

/boot/loader.conf has

legal.intel_iwi.license_ack=1
if_iwi_load="YES"
hw.physmem="1300M"
atapicam_load="YES"
wlans_iwi0="wlan"
ifconfig_wlan0="DHCP"
