It is not.  It looks like this is a SoftMAC chip which can not be
supported by the bwfm(4) FullMAC driver.  Even FreeBSD, who have worked
on improving their SoftMAC support, do not seem to support that chip.

This card might be supported by bwfm(4) in -current.

Is BCM4360 802.11ac (on MacBook Air 6.1) supported?

Hi,

I installed OpenBSD 6.3 in a MacBook Air 6.1 everything works fine but 
except the wireless card.


It have a Broadcom BCM4360 802.11ac (rev3) card, the device is showed on 
dmesg but left undetected as a device in ifconfig, I take a look on 
bwi(4) and this exact model wasn't listed.


I also checked the new driver bwfm(4) that seems a newer driver for 
Broadcom AC cards, but it haven't any listing.


Also I have nothing pending to install with fw_update

So, is this card definitely unsupported? if not, can someone give me 
some pointers to get it work?


Thanks in advance
