This seems to be a "iwm(4)" device. Try loading this driver in loader.conf.

I have this working on my end under both 12-current and 11-stable.
here's my configuration:

output from "pciconf -lv"
***@pci0:3:0:0:    class=0x028000 card=0x10108086 chip=0x24fd8086
rev=0x78 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'
    device     = 'Wireless 8265 / 8275'
    class      = network


to bring up the card i have added this entry to /etc/rc.conf:

kld_list="if_iwm"

then configuring the interface is the same as any other wifi as per the
handbook, the device will be available as "iwm0".


hope this helps,

Shouldn't you load some firmware as well? That's what the iwm(4) manual
and WiFi/FAQ wiki page[1] say.

on my system loading if_iwm via the above rc.conf entry pulls in the
appropriate firmware kld:

$ kldstat|grep iwm
 6    1 0xffffffff82c21000 14af0    if_iwm.ko
 7    1 0xffffffff82c36000 1ba76f   iwm8265fw.ko
