WITHOUT_WIRELESS=yes in /etc/src.conf didn't prevent the creation of
iwlwifi .ko files (on 13.3-RELEASE).  Interestingly though, other
WITHOUT_ settings did prevent the creation of their respective modules.
Why the different behavior and can these modules can be simply deleted?

Also wondering why there is no iwl* in /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf/* and
what, if anything,

    include         GENERIC
    nodevice        wlan

might effect during a kernel build.
