Hi Pete,
sorry for the late reply. This was burried in some 4k emails from
when I was AFK.
hello - i've successfully run the "apply-wireless.sh" script and booted into
a rebuilt kernel. the system has an intel 9560 device which i usually used
with if_iwm.
i am able to successfully unload if_iwm and load if_iwlwifi.ko. after
updating my rc.conf to use the iwlwifi0 device and running "service netif
start" i see the following output in my dmesg buffer:
lan0: Ethernet address: d8:3b:bf:82:d4:4e
lo0: link state changed to UP
iwlwifi0: lkpi_ic_getradiocaps: Adding chan 1/2412/0/0/0 returned error 55

the NIC isn't able to associate with any SSID's and /var/log/messages
contains:

i haven't had a chance to dig into what "error 55" is but posting here to see
The error 55 for lkpi_ic_getradiocaps() is okay and can be ignored.
if this is a known issue. here is my systems dmesg after i unload if_iwm and
load if_iwlwifi:

this dmesg is from after me running "service netif start"

In general you want to use service netif start wlan0 here to not
(re)start all your interfaces but only wlan0.
and finally here's a termbin of /var/log/messages.

happy to test any patches or run additional debug steps, i've got this system
setup as a zfs bootenv.
I think from what I read, your experiment correlated with some
wpa_supplicant issues around the same time in HEAD. Can you update
your tree to a recent "main" and try again? If it still doesn't work,
send me an email off-list and we'll do all the debugging needed to
figure out what's going on.
Lots of health,
Bjoern
