Intel 2200bg mess

I have pfsense 1.2.3-RELEASE on 7.2, Well i haved asked this issue in the freebsd forums and theyve redirected me here regarding iwi0

I have followed different procedures but to no avail. I have included the following in my /boot/loader.conf

legal.intel_iwi.license_ack=1
if_iwi_load="YES"
wlan_load="YES"
firmware_load="YES"
iwi_bss_load="YES"
iwi_ibss_load="YES"
iwi_monitor_load="YES"

During post boot there no errors. If i try to```
ifconfig iwi0 scan

ifconfig iwi0 list scan```
 ==> shows no stations

ifconfig iwi0
iwi0: flags=8843 <up,broadcast,running,simplex,multicast>metric 0 mtu 1500

	bgscanintvl 300 bgscanidle 250 roam:rssi11g 7 roam:rate11g 5</up,broadcast,running,simplex,multicast>

I even tried to debug with```
wlandebug -i iwi0 +scan +auth +assoc +state

iwi0: sta_pick_bss: no scan candidate
iwi0: scan_next: done, restart [ticks 73448, dwell min 2 scanend 2147487453]
iwi0: scan_next: chan 14g -> 1g [active, dwell min 2 max 20]
iwi0: scan_next: chan 1g -> 6g [active, dwell min 2 max 20]
iwi0: scan_next: chan 6g -> 11g [active, dwell min 2 max 20]
iwi0: scan_next: chan 11g -> 7g [active, dwell min 2 max 20]
iwi0: scan_next: chan 7g -> 13g [active, dwell min 2 max 20]


Iam left clueless now.

Do you know there are active 802.11g access points in your vicinity?

Have you followed the procedure in the sticky note Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG support - Howto New listed at the top of this forum?

Its not clear to me there any error here and its even less clear why you think there is something noteworthy. Why are you expecting anything different to be displayed?

I have three ap's 2 are operating on G and the other is on B/G

Yes I have followed every step, I am way ahead keeping track of notes in updates in src/sys/UPDATING

Well, I even added a 6dbi omni antenna attached to a pigtail. I am expecting for atleast the two ap's in G mode would appear in the list?
What could it be? Does anyone have the same card running on freebsd 7.2?
