What is the wifi device in the RPi 4b? Driver?
It's a chip similar to the one in the older RPIs:

I saw bwfm0: in /var/log/messages, from memory, similar to the ones listed.
One error. autoconfiguration error: NVRAM file not available.
The CHIPACTIVE line is missng.
ifconfig does not show bwfm0, only genet0 and lo0.
I managed to get a wired connection (across the room at chin height...)
Networking is up. ntp set the date correctly. DNS works. I can ssh into
the system.
It has been 5 or 6 years since I ran BSD. I used Berkeley BSD and FreeBSD.
How do I get wifi started? I can start wpa_supplicant and I have a
network block in /etc/wpa_supplicant.
network={
ssid="xxxx"
psk="yyyy"
}
service wpa_supplicant onestatus shows it is running
