How to fix it?
Unfortunately this is as expected. iwm(4) is among the drivers that require a bit of proprietary firmware to be loaded for the device to work. For reasons known only to somebody at Intel, they never granted the OpenBSD project permission to redistribute the firmware with the operating system installer. The workaround is to perform the install using a network interface that either does not require firmware or that will work with redistributable firmware. The installer will detect the presence of the iwm(4) device and download the firmware so the device will start working once the firmware is present and loaded. This question turns up frequently enough that it might be useful to put into the FAQ somewhere. - Peter — Peter N. M.
