I didn't realize that the radio control has been moved to ifconfig. Just tested with ifconfig ipw0 down and see that the radio is now 0. In looking at if_ipw, I couldn't find anything like ipwcontrol from the 6.3 version. I was wondering why battery life is so short with FreeBSD and assumed the wireless radio was always on, but it seems not.
