Broadcom BCM 43xx wireless chips

[Andy Mender]

Dear Adrian, Ben,

Bingo! That could've been it. I did NOT uncomment the lines you mentioned
in /usr/src/sys/modules/bwn prior to recompiling the kernel. I'll try to
rebuild the kernel with the lines added and write back with results.

Hope it works!

Best regards,
Andy
