I've added a printf line:

        IWI_LOCK_DECL;
 
        + printf("%s: start\n", __func__);
  
        IWI_LOCK(sc);

into the fuctions iwi_ioctl() and iwi_scanstart() which makes it a bit
better; without the printf's the system halts on boot in ~75% of the
bootings, with the printf's I was able to boot fine seven times and it
halted on the 8th reboot. I did a search in the bug database and
the only nearby hit is
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=i386/98964

I'll enable IWI_DEBUG (when I can grab the laptop from my wife :-))
and will see what I can do to help. The problem is serious, without
a fix I can't update my own laptop to 6.2R (running 6.0R at the moment
without such problems).
