G'day,

after a successful upgrade to netbsd-3.99.7 kernel and userland the iwi0 WIFI 
interface refuses to establish a connection with the AP.

The system in question runs on a Inspiron 9300 laptop sporting a Intel 
Pro/Wireless LAN 220BG see boot messages below:

-- kernel 3.99.3

iwi0 at pci2 dev 3 function 0: Intel PRO/Wireless LAN 2200BG Mini-PCI Adapter 
(rev. 0x05)
iwi0: interrupting at irq 10
iwi0: 802.11 address 00:12:f0:8e:cb:3f
iwi0: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps
iwi0: 11g rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 
36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps

When booting netbsd-3.99.7, the interface is detected but the boot message 
doesn't show the 11b/11g rates and attempts to configure the iwi0 device 
using dhclient/ifconfig fail to connect to the wireless network - see below:

The iwi-firmware-2.3 firmware is used in both cases.

The following commands are used to configure the device:
 
        /usr/sbin/iwictl -i iwi0 -d /usr/pkg/libdata/if_iwi -m bss
        /sbin/dhclient iwi0

No error messages appear during the configuration process, however, 
"iwi0: unknown association state 9"  are noted some time thereafter.

Has someone succeeded in getting the iwi0 interface running under 
netbsd-3.99.7? Any ideas?

Any help is very much appreciated.
