yes, the only reason I do not use that at the moment is that for some reason
that interface is unable to load the firmware correctly (possibly needing a
variant we have not encountered earlier). What I get is

wx0: firmware parse error 22, section type 0
iwx0: failed to load init firmware
iwx0: firmware parse error 22, section type 48
iwx0: failed to load init firmware
iwx0: acquiring device failed
iwx0: firmware parse error 22, section type 48
iwx0: failed to load init firmware
iwx0: acquiring device failed

I'd be more than willing to test anything you would suggest to get the
iwx(4) interface going.

All the best,
Peter
