Problem is the loader.conf syntax doesn't allow you to say, foo-bar-baz_load="YES". My suggestion is to instead load the module from rc.conf adding kld_list="if_iwlwifi" there or exteding the line accordingly (in case there is some drm module there already). I'll add this to the FAQ on the wiki. I have a patch sitting in review to allow auto-loading for linuxkpi using drivers but we haven't applied that yet until we are sure things are stable and work well also for drm [1].
