It's not in the GENERIC kernel if that's what you mean. You will need to load it yourself. See ipw and iwi.

The driver get loaded automatically if you add the following to /boot/loader.conf file:
if_ipw_load="YES"
wlan_load="YES"
firmware_load="YES"
ipw_bss_load="YES"
ipw_ibss_load="YES"
ipw_monitor_load="YES"
legal.intel_ipw.license_ack=1

Then, reboot the system. Read man page provided by SirDice, it has all info. To read man page type the command:
man 4 ipw
man 4 iwi
