With my W530 Wifi with iwn works now without the lagg config as well as
with the patch from here
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=211689#c4 and lagg config

Anyway. I have switched now to my T540p with a 7260AC wifi chip. When I
load iwm during boot, the computer crashes and enters a boot loop until
I disable iwm at the loader prompt. I can then load it manually after
boot and have wifi for some time. But it is pretty laggy and reconnects
every 5 minutes or so with the following dmesg entry.
