Broadcom Wireless

Improve support for Broadcom wireless devices including the 4300 series.

Status

MidnightBSD 0.3-CURRENT has bwi(4) from DragonFly. It works with a LINKSYS device, but contains a lot of debug code and does not take advantage of some of common code (PHY) in other wifi drivers. Most likely the locking is all wrong and this may die on SMP hardware.

A man page was created based on the DragonFly manual.
