The notification you mentions has had quite a bit of attention on the 'iwi' 
homesite discussionforum - it seems to be a problem in relationship with the 
porting onto the FreeBSD platform .. supposedly the most recent iwi-firmware 
edition should have taken care of the problem.
I had until a few days ago the same notifications - but then I re-compiled my 
system and kernel from 6-Release to 6-Stable (6.1 Prerelease #2 of the 14. of 
February) + included the iwi-module with the most recent firmware in the kernel. 
The 'Type 15' has dissapered and the whole setup is 100% stable ... it is my 
impression that if you load 'iwi' as a module things are less stable (especially 
when it comes to initial connection with an AP) - but this is not scientifically 
proven, just a personal subjective experience :-)
