Hello, I am not 100% sure, but I don’t think either the bwi(4) or bwn(4) drivers support the BCM4313. I am in the midst of updating the bwn driver but this is still a way off. In the meantime, NDIS is your best bet. By the way, the device name would be: bwi0 if you are using bwi, bwn0 if you are using bwn, ndis0 if you are using a driver generated with ndis.
