ifconfig: exec_matches: No such file or directory

I recently installed NetBSD/amd64 10.1 on my ThinkPad T400, but I am having
issues with WiFi.

My WiFi card is supported by the iwn(4) driver, and it worked just fine in the
installer; but when when booting, I get this error in my dmesg: 

   [   170.004879] iwn0: autoconfiguration error: could not get firmware handle
   iwlwifi-5000-2.ucode
   [   170.004879] iwn0: autoconfiguration error: could not read firmware
   [   762.464956] iwn0: autoconfiguration error: could not get firmware handle
   iwlwifi-5000-2.ucode
   [   762.464956] iwn0: autoconfiguration error: could not read firmware

When I try to start networking manually, I get this:

   amethyst# sh /etc/rc.d/network start
   Starting network.
   Hostname: amethyst.fritz.box
   IPv6 mode: host
   Configuring network interfaces: iwn0ifconfig: exec_matches: No such file or
   directory
   .
   Adding interface aliases:.
   Waiting for duplicate address detection to finish...

And I can confirm that the file does exist in the correct location:

   amethyst# file /libdata/firmware/if_iwn/iwlwifi-5000-2.ucode
   lhs/off overflow 4270589976 0
   /libdata/firmware/if_iwn/iwlwifi-5000-2.ucode: data

Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?
