You're probably referring to the b43 Linux driver story from years ago. Our bwi(4) has nothing to do with that. It was ported from DragonflyBSD. I believe the BCM43224 chip could be supported by bwn(4) in FreeBSD and definitely brcmsmac in Linux, both of which have a suitable licence. Of course, there's a non-trivial amount of work involved in porting either of these drivers over. Volunteers, please sign in blood here: ______________
