Hi,
i have do it on a embedded system.

You must do it over the WebGUI becourse the write permissions is only over it.
Use pfsense 1.2.1 RC2 becourse FreeBSD 7.0

Step 1:
Download the 4 Kernel modules: http://deponie.yamagi.org/freebsd/iwi/
Go in the WebGUI in "Diagnostics->Command Prompt".
Upload all 4 Kernel Modules over the "Upload" function.
The Files will be upload to /tmp/
After Upload use also in "Diagnostics->Command Prompt" the "Execute Shell command" function to move the files to the right location.
1. Type in Command: "mv /tmp/if_iwi.ko /boot/kernel/" and click on "Execute"
2. Type in Command: "mv /tmp/iwi_* /boot/kernel/" and click on "Execute"
Now the Kernel Modules are on the right location.

Step 2:
Now edit the /boot/loader.conf File.
Go on WebGUI in "Diagnostics->Edit file".
Type in the field "Save/Load from path"  this Text: "/boot/loader.conf" and click on "Load".
Add this 7 Lines at the end:
Code:
if_iwi_load="YES"
wlan_load="YES"
firmware_load="YES"
iwi_bss_load="YES"
iwi_ibss_load="YES"
iwi_monitor_load="YES"
legal.intel_iwi.license_ack=1
and click on "Save"
Reboot pfSense.

Step 3:
Now you can Assign you card in the WebGui over "Interfaces->assign" whit the "Plus" and configure it.
But when you read this Thread you must know:
ITS ONLY POSSIBLE TO SET THIS CARD TO "Infrastructure" AND "Ad-hoc" ... "Access point" DONT WORK!!!

I hope its work for you Smiley

Did you try the modules from FreeBSD 7.2? The ones linked are for 7.0. Any messages logged on startup? You could try kldloading the modules from a shell and see what the result is.
