	This chipset is supported by iwi(4) driver, but it hasn't been 
	MFC'ed to RELENG_5.

	Here [1] is a port I'm planning to commit that installs the 
	needed firmware and optionally (you seem to need it though) a 
	kernel module to support your card.

	I can't test it by myself, so I'd be glad you test it for me.

	It has a rcNG script, if you just put iwi_enable="YES" it will
	try to set iwi0 in bss mode. Just put if_iwi_enable="YES" in
	/boot/loader.conf so that it works at boot time. See pkg-message
	for more information.

	Note: It needs latest modifications I just committed to 
	net/ipw-firmware. 

	Note2: Sorry, it has nothing to do with ndis(4).
