FreeBSD Port: b43-fwcutter-015

[Thomas Laus]

Is there any hope for this Broadcom wireless chip running on a Compaq
F500 laptop?  It was successful running Ubuntu 16 using the legacy
Broadcom package of drivers.  I installed the suggested FreeBSD ports
for Broadcom wireless and loaded it as a loader.conf module.
