Hi,

As there are both BWI and BWN for broadcom43XX chip how chould this be
handle?

Make a new broadcom43xxN? Would a new name for BWN be ok?

Note that freebsd compat libs are statically linked so introducing the new driver you increase the resulting image for 100 kilobytes in case of ethernet or 400 kilobytes in case wi-fi driver. :-(

Another way would be to integrate them (think we have diskussed this
before but with another driver :))

Look into dec21xx glue code implementation. It integrated both "dc" and "de" ethernet drivers into single Haiku driver. May be the same trick can help for wi-fi ones too.
