Intel PRO 3945ABG Wireless

I've been trying to get this to work on my laptop without success. 
According to this page - 
<http://damien.bergamini.free.fr/ipw/ipw-freebsd.html> - the ipw driver 
should work.  I can load the driver, but it doesn't show up in dmesg.

kldstat -n if_ipw
Id Refs Address    Size     Name
10    1 0xc52d0000 9000     if_ipw.ko

dmesg | grep ipw

uname -a
FreeBSD hostname.utdallas.edu 6.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE #0: Sun May 
7 04:32:43 UTC 2006 
root at opus.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386

The startup script, that's supposed to download the firmware, fails, of 
course.

 /etc/rc.d/ipw start
Starting ipw [ipw0:bss]ipwcontrol: Can't load /boot/firmware/ipw.fw to 
driver: Device not configured

Have I missed something?
