AFAIK, the plan is to make more settled the driver and than to remove
some bugs concerning the ieee80211 interaction with it. Than, I think
certainly somebody will commit it to HEAD.

You can find a version of the driver here:
 http://www.datacode.it/wpi-freebsd/wpi-freebsd.tgz
(Note: this is completely different from iwi).

Testing and bugs reporting would be very appreciated currently.
