Hi, berte! That's great! I ported our current bcm43xx driver bwi(4) from OpenBSD and Dragonfly almost a decade ago now -- that was how I got into NetBSD kernel development. Unfortunately, I was clueless about wifi, so it wasn't a very good job (and as you are no doubt aware, bwi(4) doesn't support the newer firmware). I'm afraid I'm still clueless about wifi, but I would be happy to help with general NetBSD kernel development issues and navigating some of the network stack. Feel free to email me directly or ask questions in #netbsd-code on Freenode.
