I have the following card: siba_bwn0@pci0:12:0:0: class=3D0x028000 card=3D0x000c1028 chip=3D0x431514e= 4 rev=3D0x01 hdr=3D0x00 vendor =3D 'Broadcom Corporation' device =3D 'Broadcom Wireless b/g (BCM4315/BCM22062000)' class =3D network And it doesn't work with bwn driver (perhaps that's a configuration issue though) on 8.1.
