I wasn't able to bring the interface up either before last commit two
days ago in -CURRENT.  It would also be worth setting both
net.wlan.debug and net.wlan.0.debug sysctls to -1, but I don't think
these are available in RELENG_5.

I think it's mostly impossible as the iwi(4) should be using the new
Sam Leffler's net80211 framework which is not going to be MFC'd to
RELENG_5.  I believe you should definitely try -CURRENT.
