Thank you Stefan for the discussion. FWIW, I have now installed another operating system (Arch Linux) on my computer alongside OpenBSD 7.3, and the wireless network adapter works correctly and without issue, so it appears that it is not a hardware issue after all. I also updated the firmware on the laptop, but the issues with iwm0 remain.
