Yup. Much more choice than before.

Note that the Intel driver manual pages include this chunk:

FILES
     The driver needs some firmware files, which are loaded on demand when the
     device is attached:

           /etc/firmware/iwi-license
           /etc/firmware/iwi-boot
           /etc/firmware/iwi-bss
           /etc/firmware/iwi-ibss
           /etc/firmware/iwi-ucode

     These firmware files are not free because Intel refuses to grant distri-
     bution rights without contractual obligations. As a result, even though
     OpenBSD includes the driver, the firmware files cannot be included and
     users have to find these files on their own. The official person to
     state your views to about this issue is peter.engelbrechtintel.com at
