(I am not certain, but I think 3.0 firmware is only for current.)

Make sure if you have a switch to turn it on.
After (2.3) completes this is what I did to get wifi working:
(wifi without encryption + dhcp)
# ifconfig iwi0 nwid APName
# ifconfig iwi0 up
# dhclient iwi0
(wifi with WEP + dhcp)
# ifconfig iwi0 nwid APName nwkey 0x01234567890ABCDEF7890123456
# ifconfig iwi0 up
# dhclient iwi0

These errors are from using 3.0 firmware on 3.9 release/stable, when
you should be using 2.3.
Sorry for my delay but I have been out of the list for a while. Yes!,
It works now, I am working with OpenBSD 3.9 release and 2.3 firmware.
I am writting this email using my WIFI connection.
I seems that I read somewhere that 3.0 firmware was needed and I
started using 3.0 firmware with wrong results. I changed to 2.3
firmware but I forgot to reboot ;-).
Many thanks for your help.
Ramiro.
