Sending now before loosing information.

Sorry for sharing so much data and not being specific enough in the 
details. Maybe I should have used PasteBin?   Hope that by question and 
answering your specific directions, I can share the correct details that 
help you improve the driver.  I am probably missing some option being 
needed to SET.  I will look again at the contents of the 
/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf file  and /etc/rc.conf file and /boot/loader.conf.

Using an Intel N150 miniPC, with i915kms and iwlwifi0 device driver.

Will share  bsd-hardware.info catalog URL link;

I was trying to connect to an OPEN ACCESS Point wifi on 2.4Ghz with no 
encryption.  Do not no why WPA3 is being enabled when in 
/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf file  I have line " key_mgmt=NONE"

When comes up using  ifconfig wlan99 up,  it reports  multicast error  -5
