It appears that the firmware kmod was getting loaded, but it was barfing on one of the extensions of the ifconfig I had installed. My old ifconfig was: ifconfig_iwi0=3D"DHCP ssid rewired channel 11 authmode shared weptxkey 1 wepmode on wepkey 0x1234567890" and my new one is: ifconfig_iwi0=3D"DHCP ssid rewired weptxkey 1 wepmode on wepkey 0x123456789= 0" I also changed the access point config to leave those open for negotiation. This error message still exists, just before 'Additional TCP options: .' iwicontrol: Can't load firmware to driver : Invalid argument .
