There is no iwmfw module. /boot/kernel/if_iwm.ko /boot/kernel/iwm3160fw.ko /boot/kernel/iwm3168fw.ko /boot/kernel/iwm7260fw.ko /boot/kernel/iwm7265Dfw.ko /boot/kernel/iwm7265fw.ko /boot/kernel/iwm8000Cfw.ko /boot/kernel/iwm8265fw.ko /boot/kernel/iwm9000fw.ko /boot/kernel/iwm9260fw.ko Can you show us how you are trying to load the iwm firmware (when built as a module) and what does dmesg -a | grep iwm say then?
When putting if_iwlwifi_load="YES" into /boot/loader.conf.local, the if_ kernel module gets loaded, but the proper firmware module does not get loaded automatically (this is the same behaviour introduced in the vain of iflib with iwm on this platform within the
iflib has nothing to do with wireless and iwm or iwlwifi.
past years, rendering iwm from working to non working on this platform).
Given you are not providing any error message but an obviously loaded iwm driver it is hard to say where your actual problem is.
Manually loading the proper FW module (supposedly iwlwifi-7260-9.ucode.ko) does not make this chipset going to work (setup with re0 and wlan0 on lagg0). Somehow the chipset seems not recognized ...
If you are using iwm(4) you need to detach that, disable it, or not laod it in order to try iwlwifi. And for loading iwlwifi and the appropriate firmware please see the thread from yesterday here. If you are not doing it from loader but rc.conf iwlwifi will pick up the appropriate firmware by itself. It'll highly likely be helpful to split your problems up into "iwm is not working please help" or "I am trying to use iwlwifi please help" and we'll probably be able to help you solve both.
