Bernhard Schmidt has a repository with a recent port of the OpenBSD
iwn(4) driver, available for testing, in an svn repo:

http://svn.techwires.net/svn/projects/freebsd/sys

It should provide support for the 1000 series chips, although neither
I or Bernhard have a card to test with.

I'm testing the code on 8-STABLE...
