 Well, I also had this feeling at first (especially since I tend to trust
 UPDATING in these matters) but it is not so. I know this because I have
 tried the variant you suggested first and found out fairly quickly that
 the firmware did not load. :-) This was on iwi, btw, but I do not think
 this matters. With the variant in the man page, it works 1A. I specify
 the var in /boot/loader.conf. And the var name starts with "legal" not
 "license" in both cases.
 
 Your first point about required kernel modules stands however :-)
