It was ported from DragonflyBSD. I believe the BCM43224 chip could be supported by bwn(4) in FreeBSD and definitely brcmsmac in Linux, both of which have a suitable licence. Of course, there's a non-trivial amount of work involved in porting either of these drivers over. Volunteers, please sign in blood here: __

Not sure about bwn(4), according to their online manpage, but indeed the license of the linux driver seems appropriate[1].

Re: WiFi BCM43224 not configured!
Is that possible to informing the OpenBSD developers that use its driver on the next release?

Sorry but merely asking developers for feature X in release+1 is not the way to go. IIUC BCM43* nics could have been supported if development efforts hadn't been killed by licensing issues. I doubt there are developers who want to work on this anymore. Please follow Stefan's advices in http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-portsm=143453181530615w=2 : Please replace it with a different supported minipci card, or use a supported USB wifi dongle. -- jca | PGP : 0x1524E7EE / 5135 92C1 AD36 5293 2BDF DDCC 0DFA 74AE 1524 E7EE
