(In reply to Bjoern A. Zeeb from comment #14)

I did try it, with very unusual results.  This was a FreeBSD 13.1 install; the
only unusual thing about it was that the install was from a USB drive to
another USB drive.  

The iwlwifi driver does load, it just doesn't *work*.  By that I mean, when
running the initial installation, at the point when bsd-install asks which
wireless interface to configure, I selected the only one available (my laptop's
wireless card), and it scans for networks.  However, despite the fact that
there are dozens of WiFi networks around, it wasn't able to detect any. 

I rebooted onto the new FreeBSD installation to see if the driver loads on the
new installation.  It does.  On boot, there is a notification saying "iwlwifi
driver loaded successfully."  But the new install displays the same behavior:
it scans for wireless networks and can't find any, despite the fact that there
are many in the area.

This is the output of `lshw` for the wireless card on my Linux machine:

Happy to troubleshoot this more if you need more information.
