There's working code for the later chips in Linux and likely (via
Linux) OpenBSD.

Linux has b43 and brcm drivers. The source is there - what's missing
is someone choosing one and porting it to FreeBSD.
Both b43 (via reverse engineering) and brcm (via broadcom developers)
is getting active development. It'd be nice to have datasheets but you
don't need them to port the code over.
