Powered back on and wlan0 got created again using iwm0 as parent and my wifi is working again. I did add to loader.conf prior to the power down: if_iwm_load="YES" iwm9000fw_load="YES" I know I shouldn't have to do this (never did before) but given my situation I was willing to try about anything. Here's the iwm info from the last verbose boot: Dec 10 12:01:05 harbinger kernel: Preloaded elf obj module "/boot/kernel/iwm9000fw.ko" at 0xffffffff8305b418.
