Looking at bwi/if_bwi_pci.c, it doesn't seem as though your particular
chip is supported:
static const struct bwi_dev {
uint16_t vid;
uint16_t did;
const char *desc;
} bwi_devices[] = {
{ PCI_VENDOR_BROADCOM, 0x4301,"Broadcom BCM4301 802.11b Wireless Lan" },
{ PCI_VENDOR_BROADCOM, 0x4307,"Broadcom BCM4307 802.11b Wireless Lan" },
{ PCI_VENDOR_BROADCOM, 0x4311,"Broadcom BCM4311 802.11b/g Wireless Lan"
},
{ PCI_VENDOR_BROADCOM, 0x4312,"Broadcom BCM4312 802.11a/b/g Wireless
Lan" },
{ PCI_VENDOR_BROADCOM, 0x4313,"Broadcom BCM4312 802.11a Wireless Lan" },
{ PCI_VENDOR_BROADCOM, 0x4320,"Broadcom BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless
Lan"},
{ PCI_VENDOR_BROADCOM, 0x4321,"Broadcom BCM4306 802.11a Wireless Lan"},
{ PCI_VENDOR_BROADCOM, 0x4325,"Broadcom BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless
Lan"},
{ PCI_VENDOR_BROADCOM, 0x4324,"Broadcom BCM4309 802.11a/b/g Wireless
Lan" },
{ PCI_VENDOR_BROADCOM, 0x4318,"Broadcom BCM4318 802.11b/g Wireless Lan"
},
{ PCI_VENDOR_BROADCOM, 0x4319,"Broadcom BCM4318 802.11a/b/g Wireless
Lan" },
{ PCI_VENDOR_BROADCOM, 0x431a,"Broadcom BCM4318 802.11a Wireless Lan" },
{ 0, 0, NULL }
};
