@kedara if you're not already on 15 or 16, upgrade the base OS. STABLE will be better than RELEASE, if you have no special requirement for RELEASE. Use pkgbase.

If you are already on 15-STABLE or 16-CURRENT, you should find that iwm(4) is more stable, but less performant, than iwlwifi(4).

No mention of devmatch_blocklist anywhere in the FreeBSD Handbook or the documentation portal. You'll find it in the third manual page below. Good luck.
