@lproven good news,
Donation of the working iwx driver — <https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-desktop/2024-December/005173.html>
In addition, I learnt in FreeBSD Discord that <https://github.com/orgs/FreeBSDFoundation/projects/1/?pane=issue&itemId=84366575&issue=FreeBSDFoundation%7Cproj-laptop%7C5> is iwx – but not yet marked as such.
The Tom mentioned in <https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-desktop/2024-December/005182.html> is Tom Jones, whose FreeBSD Network Status reports I highly recommend:

「… alternatively, the FreeBSD project gets a subproject going which brings in the WiFi drivers from OpenBSD twice a year or something.」
Smart thinking. +100 to reuse of code, collaboration, and the like.
You're not the first person to ask about OpenBSD. The brief answer, from <https://wiki.freebsd.org/WiFi/Iwlwifi#openbsd>:
「There were other people looking into this.
When I started there was limited support for various chipsets already supported by iwlwifi, … mangled so that comparing to the original code was no longer possible in an automated way … goals listed above … another driver to change and support (in addition to iwm).」
