Hi Emmanuel,

Whilst I agree the screenshot looks like the failure occurs whilst creating the
wlan0 interface, it in fact occurs when loading the if_iwm module. I have
tested by stopping the netif service and then loading the modules manually, and
you can see the screenshot here:

I never got a chance to restart netif service.

Regards,
Ben
