I notice the new Broadcom Wifi bwfm(4) drivers. Anyone with better knowledge of the project know what hardware is supported by that? The manpage doesn't mention specific chips: https://man.openbsd.org/bwfm.4



http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/sys/dev/pci/if_...

indicates:

  static const struct pci_matchid bwfm_pci_devices[] = {
	  { PCI_VENDOR_BROADCOM, PCI_PRODUCT_BROADCOM_BCM43602 },
	  { PCI_VENDOR_BROADCOM, PCI_PRODUCT_BROADCOM_BCM4350 },
  };

those are hex codes defined in:

http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/sys/dev/pci/pci...

as:

  vendor	BROADCOM	0x14e4	Broadcom
  product BROADCOM BCM4350	0x43a3	BCM4350
  product BROADCOM BCM43602	0x43ba	BCM43602
so if you're not sure, checking boot up dmesg on OpenBSD or lspci on linux should give the hexcode of your device which should match 0x14e4 + one of the other two..


Ooh! Interesting. I've a ~2 year old Macbook Pro with the 43602 chipset. Would be lovely to be able to run OpenBSD on it without wifi dongles.
