Can't the binary firmware not be distributed through the ports/packages
systems? NetBSD has sysutils/ipw-firmware and the author of the driver
provides packages for OpenBSD:
http://damien.bergamini.free.fr/ipwfw/OpenBSD/ipw-firmware-1.1.tgz
http://damien.bergamini.free.fr/iwifw/OpenBSD/iwi-firmware-1.0.tgz

Cheers,
