To try without rebooting I believe the commands you want are: kenv legal.intel_iwi.license_ack=1 kldload if_iwi kldload wlan kldload firmware kldload iwi_bss kldload iwi_ibss kldload iwi_monitor However, I just had a look in my /boot/kernel for the if_iwi module and its not there so you may be correct.
