New iwm wireless driver stopped working (9560)

Hi everyone,

Since Mark recently committed the new iwm driver discussed at the bug
report below, I had been happily using my built in wireless card.
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=227044#c24

However, as of today it has stopped working - the card no longer shows up
under "sysctl net.wlan.devices".

Since I am running the exact same code as when it was working, the only
thing I can think of that could have changed it is that I had rebooted this
laptop into Windows, and Intel driver update was waiting - I applied it.
This might have flashed the firmware on the device.

Any ideas what could cause this or how to troubleshoot it? The pciconf
looks the same as when I reported it on the above bug report.

Regards,
Ben
