Hi,
Just upgraded to 11.2 RC3 from 11.1 release and found the iwm driver for the Intel 8260 was not working. I'm running FreeBSD on a Thinkpad T460P.

kernel: iwm0: <Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless AC 8260> mem 0xf4200000-0xf4201fff at device 0.0 on pci3
kernel: iwm0: SecBoot CPU1 Status: 0x3090001, CPU2 Status: 0x0
kernel: iwm0: Failed to start INIT ucode: 35

I had the module built into a custom kernel using:

device         iwm                   
device         iwmfw
 
I have recompiled the kernel without the module and instead placed the module in the /boot/loader.conf:
if_iwm_load="YES"
iwm3160fw_load="YES"
iwm7260fw_load="YES"
iwm7265fw_load="YES"
iwm8000Cfw_load="YES"
iwm8265fw_load="YES"

The 8260 now appears to be working fine using this method.
iwm0: hw rev 0x200, fw ver 22.361476.0, address  b8:8a:60:xx:xx:xx

Cheers,
Nick.
