Hi Richard,
May be you should start over. I'll try to explain how I configured my
wifi.
1. Switched the Wireless on. (And checked in Windows :P).
1a. Made sure that I've intel wireless chipset.
2. Added following line to /boot/loader.conf
if_iwi_load="YES"
3. Installed iwicontrol port
4. Reboot
5. and then the command, which will be just silent
iwicontrol iwi0 -d /usr/local/share/iwi-firmware -m bss
6. sysinstall - configured iwi0 interface to use DHCP, no IPV6. You can
do it from gnome -> Desktop Menu -> Administration -> Networking ->
selecting iwi0 adapter and in the properties configured it to use DHCP.
6. Start the interfaces
/etc/rc.d/netif start
Which will check for the DHCP offers.
Also
"dmesg | grep iw" gives me
iwi0: <Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG> mem 0xffdfd000-0xffdfdfff irq 9 at
device 12.0 on pci2
iwi0: Ethernet address: 00:12:f0:0e:da:bf
iwi0: Please load firmware
Finally after configuration
shire# ifconfig iwi0
iwi0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500

inet 192.168.2.188 netmask 0xfffffc00 broadcast 192.168.3.255
ether 00:12:f0:0e:da:bf

status: associated
ssid foss.in channel 11 bssid 00:0f:cb:a1:cd:ff
authmode OPEN privacy OFF txpowmax 100 protmode CTS bintval 100
Ofcourse the status is associated because there's a wireless access
point.
