Sorry, this chip (BCM43224) is not supported by bwi(4). The bwi(4) driver only supports very old chip generations, such as the ones found in old Powerbook G4 laptops. Please replace it with a different supported minipci card, or use a supported USB wifi dongle. To get a list of all wifi drivers on your system, run: man -k wireless Then check each man page for supported chips and product names. If you look hard enough in online and offline stores you should be able to find something that works. Currently USB devices supported by urtwn(4), run(4), and athn(4) (on USB!) drivers should be affordable and fairly easy to find. For built-in miniPCI cards, I'd recommend trying to find devices supported by iwn(4), iwm(4), and, if you run OpenBSD-current, rtwn(4). athn(4) is also a good choice on minipci but, unfortunately, most such devices currently sold won't work yet so you'd have to be very careful about picking the right one. (PS: Next time, please include the output of the dmesg(8) command. Thanks!)
