Using pciconf as per jb's hint tells me it is a broadcom I have:
none3@pci0:3:0:0: class=0x028000 card=0x060814e4 chip=0x472714e4 rev=0x01
hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Broadcom Corporation'
device = 'BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller'
class = network
As per the release notes for 9.0
(http://www.freebsd.org/releases/9.0R/hardware.html#WLAN), the bwn(4) driver be
the one to use.
Added the following to my /boot/loader.conf following the instructions in
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/network-wireless.html and rebooted.
if_bwn_load="YES"
wlan_wep_load="YES"
wlan_ccmp_load="YES"
wlan_tkip_load="YES"
The last three are included in the GENERIC kernel.
The bwi and bwn drivers need firmware, which is provided by the
net/bwi-firmware-kmod and net/bwn-firmware-kmod ports. So install
whichever is appropriate. I think the driver tries to load the right
firmware automatically, but haven't tried a Broadcom in a while, and it
might still be necessary to load the firmware module in
/boot/loader.conf.
