iwi driver: Probes but no association (FreeBSD5.4).

I'm trying to get the iwi driver working on my sony A290 laptop. It's
got a BG2200 chipset in it and the driver probes and finds the adapter,
but it doesn't appear to work.
This is the probe message:
iwi0: <Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG MiniPCI> mem 0xff6fd000-0xff6fdfff
irq 7 at device 2.0 on pci2
iwi0: Ethernet address: 00:0e:35:38:1e:14
iwi0: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps
iwi0: 11g rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps
24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps
This is the output of ifconfig:
iwi0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet6 fe80::20e:35ff:fe38:1e14%iwi0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2
ether 00:0e:35:38:1e:14
media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect
status: no carrier
ssid tao 1:tao
channel -1 authmode OPEN powersavemode OFF powersavesleep 100
rtsthreshold 2312 protmode CTS txpower 100
wepmode OFF weptxkey 1
The device says in 'no carrier' mode even though my wireless network is
seen by the same device (booting into windows native).
The other end is provided by an athalon chipset device in my server:
ath0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 10.0.0.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.0.0.255
ether 00:09:5b:e5:1f:a4
media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect mode 11g <hostap>
status: associated
ssid tao 1:tao
channel 1 authmode OPEN powersavemode OFF powersavesleep 100
rtsthreshold 2312 protmode CTS
wepmode OFF weptxkey 1
wepkey 1:104-bit
Have you any ideas as to what to try next? I really fancy me a bit of
wireless.
Joe.
ps I'm running a driver compiled from iwi-freebsd-1.3.4.tgz on
Damien Bergamini's website. The machine in question is: FreeBSD
