yes, it's a known bug of our iwi(4) driver:

 http://damien.bergamini.free.fr/ipw/forum/read.php?f=3D5&i=3D70&t=3D70#rep=
ly_70

unfortunately, the author seems to lost interest to update NetBSD
drivers and what we have in tree is quite behind OpenBSD version (which
already supports monitor firmware and has lots of bugs fixed).

if someone could step in and update both iwi(4) and ipw(4), it would be
really appreciated.
