Hello,
I have not been able to use iwi0 on OpenBSD 5.9 i386 on ThinkPad R52.
The firmware was installed via
# fw_update
When I try to connect to an open wifi network:
# ifconfig iwi0 nwid HUAZHU-Hanting up
I obtain the following error messages when I run 'dmesg':
iwi0: fatal firmware error
iwi0: fatal firmware error
iwi0: timeout waiting for master

The wireless network adapter worked a few days ago, when the laptop was
running Windows XP.
What shall I do to make iwi0 working?

iwi(4) was accidentally broken in 5.9-release.
There is a patch in 5.9-stable which makes iwi(4) work again.
No errata was issued for this patch. I've included the patch below.
If you already have a CVS checkout from the OPENSD_5_9 tag, then the
steps you can follow are:
cd /usr/src/sys
cvs up net80211/ieee80211_node.c
Now build and install a new kernel.
For more information about how to get the -stable source tree and how
to build the system from source, see http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq5.html
