OK; that confirms that the driver isn't loading.

First find out what the card really is. I suggest running:
pfexec /usr/X11/bin/scanpci
This should show the list of PCI devices in your system, and the
wireless card should be among them. The interesting part of this
display are the "vendor" and "device" values, which you should report
to the folks who maintain the driver. The right mailing list for that
is:

(No, if the driver doesn't want to load, you can't "force" it to load.
Drivers load only when they recognize the attached hardware.)
