How can I 'enable' the device?
You cannot. There is no actual driver code for chip 4331 chips. See the bottom of the bwi(4) man page: CAVEATS [...] The BCM4331 chip isn't supported by this driver but the driver disables the chip if detected, since some buggy EFI revisions found in 2011-2012 Macs leave the chip enabled, causing it to emit spurious interrupts when the shared interrupt line is enabled.
