Hi :)

pkg_info -L iwi-firmware*

will show  that the script installed by the port is /etc/rc.d/iwi

I had the issue with mergemaster destroying it in the past (thank god for
backups!), so I had moved it to /usr/local/etc/rc.d/iwi.sh .

Since 6.1 and latest iwi port upgrade (I'm on iwi-firmware-2.4_7 now) * , i'm
getting more a lot more lockups than before when bringing the card back up
( usually after a suspend/resume cycle). I'm testing a new set of custom
scripts to load/unload if_iwi.ko for a full reset and see if this makes any
different to stability.

* lack of stability could also be caused in my case due to change of
laptop( from Toshiba Tecra A2 to IBM thinkpad z60m...)
