I am able to load iwm (iwm7265fw), but there are some networks that I 
just can't connect to (INIT -> INIT, swscan_cancel_scan, repeat). 
Attaching to an iPhone hotspot is one example of a not-entirely-helpful 
network, but there is other, more typical infrastructure that gives 
trouble too. There is an iwm8xxx in the room that seems to work fine, 
however... I do not meddle in the affairs of wi-fi, for it is subtle and 
quick to anger. :)
