You may have the kmod loaded, but what about the firmware? You need at
least have legal.intel_iwi.licence_ack=1 in loader.conf and check again
in dmesg. If you miss the initial message that pops up you won't see it
again- running kldload if_iwi after initial installation of the port (on
6.x) tells you exactly what you need to do. firmware_load from my
experience doesn't do anything, but that may have changed with 7.1 (it
will depend on the version used).

Once you know for certain that the firmware IS actually loaded, check
ifconfig.
