Hi Hanno,

AFAIK, no.  iwi(4) is still highly experimental : Damien Bergamini just
commited a few fixes which allows my card to associate, but I still
can't communicate with other hosts.

Furthermore, there were major rewrites of the 802.11 code by Sam Leffler
in -CURRENT, and I believe they have not been MFC'd to RELENG_5.  Since
iwi(4) should make an intensive use of this framework, it won't work
on RELENG_5 likely.

Regards,
