It seems to be possible with the FreeBSD -CURRENT iwm driver,
as the device is listed in the manpage:

https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=iwm&apropos=0&sektion=4&manpath=FreeBSD+12-current&arch=default&format=html

The driver is present (read: "will be present") in FreeBSD 11:

https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/releng/11.0/sys/dev/iwm/

FreeBSD 10's -STABLE development branch doesn't seem to have received
this driver yet, so the current release version probably won't be able
to support this particular hardware at the moment.

You can find the iwm driver development history here:
