no one can help?? i realy need this to work

The loader.conf gets overwritten on reboot.
Add the line to /boot/loader.conf.local. If the file doesn't exist create it. -
You realize that that card only supports station mode, and you cannot use it in hostap mode? You can connect pfSense to a wireless network, but clients can't connect to pfSense.

all i need is station mode.
i have tryed adding it to /boot/loader.conf.local but still the same. -
Do you see anything referencing iwm during bootup? Any errors? Does the interface show up under 'interface, assignments'?
-
Just for clarity loader.conf doesn't get overwritten at boot. It may get overwritten when making changes to settings or at upgrade. But any custom values should be in loader.conf.local as said.
What version of pfSense are you running? What hardware are you running it on?
iwm or it's firmware are not loaded by default. They also don't appear to be available as modules in 2.4.5 so you would need to copy them across from a compatible FreeBSD version.
