Use the iwi-firmware-kmod port.  You need the module wrappers around the 
firmware in /boot/modules, not the raw firmware in /boot/firmware.  That is 
the older way of doing things.

Yes, it is in -current and I believe -stable now, and this just works fine 
with the iwi-firmware-kmod port.

In short, upgrade to 6.1-stable, install the iwi-firmware-kmod port, and 
everything should Just Work(tm).  It does here on my laptop (albeit running 
7-current).
