/boot/loader.conf:
Code: 
if_iwm_load="YES"
iwm7265fw_load="YES"

dmesg | grep iwm

Code: 
iwm0: <Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless AC 7265> mem 0xe3000-0xafff at device 0.0 on pci1
iwm0: hw rev 0x210, fw ver 16.242414.0, address 48:8a:20:c5:3b:88

ifconfig wlan0 create wlandevice iwm0

Code: 
ifconfig must specify a parent device (wlandev) when creating a wlan device

You'll need to create a wlan device, assign it with the wireless interface, and then use the wlan0 device in your regular ifconfig commands.

See also the wlandev option in ifconfig(8). Or set it up in /etc/rc.conf of course:

Code: 
wlans_bwn0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA SYNCDHCP"
(my wireless device is bwn0).

Note that this is only step one though. Also look into wpa_supplicant.conf(5) to actually set up the network connection.
