Hello.

Regarding my if_iwm/if_iwm firmware issue, I could manage to check again all possible
variations of loading the proper FW module - and it works, either compiled into the
kernel, load by /boot/loader.conf[.local] or /etc/rc.conf.[local], either letting
if_iwm.ko picking up the correct FW module or naming it explicitely (for i7260
WiFi chipset).

According to if_iwm there is another strange problem on 13-STABLE (13.0-STABLE #94
stable/13-n249095-7a6364ac773: Sat Jan 22 09:56:40 CET 2022). When trying to check
whether if_iwlwifi is working for chipset i7260, if_iwm alsways(!) gets loaded by some
service I havn't dentified yet, so loading if_iwlwifi and if_iwm both in parallel results
in a non-working wifi/lagg0 configuration. I realised that devd.conf contains in
wifi-regex also the tag "iwm", so I deleted that - with no effect. Also, I tried to
disable every bluetooth support, no effect on the observed issue, even with
renameing /etc/devd/iwmbtfw.conf to be unresolved by the rc system - no effect. The only
way to disable the load of if_iwm in my case was to rename the if_iwm.ko module to be not
found by rc system.

I also realised, as already reported, the if_iwlwifi scripts do have trouble loading the
proper FW via /boot/locader.conf[.local]. Even when replacing the hyphen with underscore
("-" -> "_") in the tag targetting the proper FW doesn't work for me, I had to load both
the if_iwlwifi via /etc/rc.conf[.local].
I had to load the FW module explicitely since it did not load automatically, somehow the
if_iwlwifi did not recognise the proper FW.

Once both loaded the i7260 chipset seems to get reconised by the driver, so far:

but it is not working with the seup of mine:
