Hi there Weongyo!
I´d like to know .. will it compile under 8.0-RELEASE or -STABLE?
Should I try your module instead of bwi(4)?

And just in case you find it usefull, in ssb_pci.c, {
PCI_VENDOR_BROADCOM, 0x4315, "Unknown" }, is actually  a 'Broadcom
Wireless b/g (BCM4315/BCM22062000)'. I have one .. here you´ll find my
pciconf -lcvb usinf bwi(4) with parado´s firmware:
http://pastebin.com/f1f40900c

#bwi0 at pci0:12:0:0:       class=0x028000 card=0x000b1028
chip=0x431514e4 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
#    vendor     = 'Broadcom Corporation'
#    device     = 'Broadcom Wireless b/g (BCM4315/BCM22062000)'
#    class      = network
#    cap 01[40] = powerspec 3  supports D0 D1 D2 D3  current D0
#    cap 09[58] = vendor (length 120)
#    cap 05[e8] = MSI supports 1 message, 64 bit
#    cap 10[d0] = PCI-Express 1 endpoint max data 128(128) link x1(x1)

bwi0: PHY: type 5, rev 1, ver 6
bwi0: RF: manu 0x17f, type 0x2062, rev 2

Hope that help :)

Best Regards
Gonzalo
