Howdy,
I've got an Intel wireless card that appears to be supported by the 
driver, but whenever it is used, it stops working after about 60-65 
seconds when connected to a WPA network. I haven't tested with an open 
wireless yet.. It dumps out what looks like a firmware debug.

Here's what shows up in dmesg for it:
iwn0: <Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 6205a> mem 0xd2500000-0xd2501fff irq 17 at 
device 0.0 on pci3

iwn0: 11g rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 
24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps

     vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'
     class      = network

Here's the firmware dump:

I duplicated the makefile for another iwn firmware mod after verifying it 
was the same rev as the other 6xxx firmwares.

Here's the MD5 of the firmware module:
# md5 iwn6005fw.ko
MD5 (iwn6005fw.ko) = 77f363e5b45d2886d3bf3cdfef728529

Here's the sha256:
# sha256 iwn6005fw.ko
SHA256 (iwn6005fw.ko) = 
7f1138ebed7d586f7fe20a598bc06fb373998c6ad6469170b48927525f09f2ba


This is from -STABLE as of 6/8/2011:
FreeBSD redacted 8.2-STABLE FreeBSD 8.2-STABLE #0: Wed Jun  8 23:58:25 PDT 
2011     bifrost@redacted:/usr/src/sys/amd64/compile/GENERIC  amd64

(yes, my laptop is called redacted heheh)

I tried checking out the drivers from head, but they won't build on 
-current so I'm not sure what my next options are to getting this on 
-stable.

Any help would be appreciated.

-Tom
