if_iwm crashes kernel when loaded from /boot/loader.conf
Hello, I noticed a problem when loading if_iwm from /boot/loader.conf kernel crashes as it cannot load module firmware dead loop occurs. Adding iwm8000Cfw before if_iwm does not help. Loading if_iwm on a running system works fine and gives operational wifi.

It seems to be a known bug. I circumvent it by manually loading the wifi modules after boot. This doesn't crash the system. As a dirty hack? You could add the loading as a script and automatically load the modules when the FreeBSD is fully up and running. Br, Tommi>>
