Sorry, I am probably using the wrong terminology because there are things I
don't understand. I said firmware because I need to install
wifi-firmware-iwlwifi-kmod-ax210 regardless of whether I use if_iwlwifi or
if_iwx. Forget I said anything about that... I will just share what I've
observed and tried, and not hypothesize about what is causing it.

I haven't configured an interface. I am trying to limit this to minimal
reproducible behavior. I observe my laptop being unable to resume, simply by
doing `kldload if_iwlwifi` or `kldload if_iwx` and then `acpiconf -s 3`.
Without either of those kernel modules, I can suspend / resume fine. With
either of those modules loaded, resume doesn't work. The screen doesn't come
back, and the beep sound plays continuously. According to
https://wiki.freebsd.org/SuspendResume that means "if the noise does not stop,
something has gone wrong while resuming a device driver or kernel
panicked/hung."
