So far as I can tell the firmware images have not been committed to cvs (nor should they be due to the license) so you still need the port. It is interesting however that I see a sys/modules/iwifw directory in the cvsweb listing; looks like someone got happy fingers. As to the problems people are seeing this is likely because the recent commit to HEAD for iwi brought in firmware loading using the firmware support code but also requires version 3.0 firmware images. I just checked the iwi-firmware port and it's still fetching version 2.4 firmware so users have to go to the web site to fetch the firmware and update the port themselves or otherwise roll their own firmware images to use the code in cvs. Sam
