I am able to load iwm (iwm7265fw), but there are some networks that I
just can't connect to (INIT -> INIT, swscan_cancel_scan, repeat).
Attaching to an iPhone hotspot is one example of a not-entirely-helpful
network, but there is other, more typical infrastructure that gives
trouble too. There is an iwm8xxx in the room that seems to work fine,
however... I do not meddle in the affairs of wi-fi, for it is subtle and
quick to anger. :)
