I have the following card: siba_bwn0@pci0:12:0:0: class=0x028000 card=0x000c1028 chip=0x431514e4 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Broadcom Corporation' device = 'Broadcom Wireless b/g (BCM4315/BCM22062000)' class = network And it doesn't work with bwn driver (perhaps that's a configuration issue though) on 8.1.
