This seems to indicate that your interface is the Intel 3945ABG chipset 
which gives you the keywords you need to search for a driver. IIRC one 
is in development, they are still discussing how to name it. Previous 
chipsets use the ipw and iwi driver, check this website:

Also, they mention the need to install ports/net/iwi-firmware-kmod

Cheers, Erik
