It actually was ported, and sources for 8.0-CURRENT was available for
testing(and probably still is). Last time I checked it, bwi was still
in perforce but development stopped.

On other hand bwi have its own bugs (performance was suboptimal in my
environment) and development of driver itself is in stagnation.
Not mentioning imposibility for supporting newer broadcom chips.
