The broadcom43xx driver currently doesn't support devices 4311 and 4315. Assuming the BSD driver has meanwhile been updated to support them, ours should be updated to match.

Nope, reading the wiki I found:
Non-Supported Hardware The following Broadcom 43xx devices: bcm4311: vendor 14e4, device 4311 bcm4312: vendor 14e4, device 4315
I tried to run install_firmware.sh in offline way and it didn't work. The enhancement is valid, at least in the last week someone added support for my wifi card..

I'd suggest being a bit more clear when you file the ticket next time. As originally stated, it seemed to imply you thought we had no driver at all, and hadn't done any further reading.

Further note, the driver currently in FreeBSD trunk appears to have support for device id 4311, but not 4315.

That wasn't the case when I looked at 9.0's current bwn source 2 weeks ago, the 4311 device ID was present, but 4315 was not.

There already is one, but it won't work out of the box, as it requires firmware which cannot be distributed directly as part of the image due to licensing. Either 1) run install-wifi-firmwares.sh with a wired ethernet connection first in order to download/install the requisite firmware, or 2) get the firmware onto your image via one of the means listed at http://www.haiku-os.org/guides/dailytasks/wireless .
