>Description:
portupgraded iwi-firmware to iwi-firmware-2.4_7 earlier today, but rebooting machine resulted in loss of wifi functionality. iwicontrol no longer worked.
Here are the details of installed (built-in) hardware:

vendor = 'Intel Corporation'
device = 'PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection'
class = network
Attempts to resinstall results in the following: -
Attempts to use make install clean:
# make install clean
===> iwi-firmware-2.4_7 is configured with iwi(4) support which you don't need.
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/net/iwi-firmware.
#
Attempts to use pkg_add: -
# pkg_add -r iwi-firmware
