I just received an Intel 7260 m.2 adapter yesterday. So gave
the work on iwlwifi a test drive today...

FreeBSD 13.1-BETA3 FreeBSD 13.1-BETA3
releng/13.1-n250010-ca2b1e3480b GENERIC amd64

If I don't insist on iwlwifi, the following
defaults to iwm

iwlwifi0@pci0:3:0:0:	class=0x028000 rev=0xc3 hdr=0x00 vendor=0x8086 
device=0x08b2 subvendor=0x8086 subdevice=0xc270
     vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'
     device     = 'Wireless 7260'
     class      = network

The following entries in rc.conf(5)

kld_list="if_iwlwifi"
wlans_iwlwifi0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA SYNCDHCP"

Produce:

wlan0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500

The AP I connect to is 80211.ac supporting 2.4 && 5Ghz

Thanks for your time and work on this!

I'm going to blow away the 13.1b3 and replace it with rc2 to see
what develops. I'm available to do any sort of testing you might
be interested in.

Thanks again.

l8r,
