You cannot. There is no actual driver code for chip 4331 chips.
See the bottom of the bwi(4) man page:
CAVEATS
[...]
The BCM4331 chip isn't supported by this driver but the driver disables
the chip if detected, since some buggy EFI revisions found in 2011-2012
Macs leave the chip enabled, causing it to emit spurious interrupts when
the shared interrupt line is enabled.
