How to install wireless driver

Hi, all:

I am new in driver installation. Can anyone tell me the detailed steps to install a wireless driver?

I want to install iwn driver on FreeBSD 7.2. I download the driver from http://people.freebsd.org/~gavin/iwn-7/iwn-7.tgz.
However, I don't know how to compile the driver. I find two directories under the packet: "share" and "sys". Where should I extract the packet to, "/usr/src/sys"? Should I recompile the kernel? Or use "configure", "make", "make "install"?

After I add "device iwn" to kernel configuration file and compile the kernel, error: device "iwn" is unknown.

Thank you.

Don't bother with that patch. It doesn't work. Rather upgrade to FreeBSD 8.0. iwn works wonderfully on 8.0.
