A big "mahalo" to Rui, Torfinn, Paul, and everyone else who helped with
this. What a great community.

I was just about to fire up my ndis driver when I read this snippet
about iwn, so I installed csup and upgraded to 8.0 stable. Works like a
charm!

Added this to /boot/loader:

ifnfw_load="YES"
if_iwn_load="YES"

Here is what I added to my rc.conf (my home ssid is Oz):

# msk0 is built-in Ethernet
ifconfig_msk0="DHCP"
# iwn0 is built-in wifi
wlans_iwn0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="DHCP ssid=Oz"
