Thanks very much for the heads up, since I then must have made an error 
during configuring my Kernel for 12:

# grep iwm N3000
device          iwm                     # Intel 4965/1000/5000/6000 
wireless NICs.
device          iwm3168fw

While on 14:
# grep iwn GENERIC
device          iwn                     # Intel 4965/1000/5000/6000 
wireless NICs.


Probably I have foobared the comments way back. dmesg is also telling 
me, that I am using iwm.
