a8334633cb Don't suggest using bwn for the bcm4306 cards in the list. The
bcm4306 cards are ambiguous.  BCM4306 rev 2 requires bwi.  BCM4306 rev
3 will work with either.  Since we can't easily determine which is
which, just remove them.

4839bf82b7 Mentions cases when bwi(4) driver should be used that it only wrote
about chipset type instead of card names because it's not easy to sort
names what cards use these chipsets.

3c24ee50ce Adds a CAVEATS section to mention DMA issues that currently only
a solution is using PIO mode.  As fas as I know all open source based
broadcom drivers for specially LP PHY has this issue because it's
a reverse engineered driver from wl(4).

c90de36538 Adds bwi(4) at SEE ALSO section because some old devices aren't

dropped its support.  Bumps date also.

2eef358f95 adds bwn(4) driver for supporting Broadcom BCM43xx chipsets.
o uses v4 firmware instead of v3.  A port will be committed to create
    the bwn firmware module.
  o supports B/G and LP(low power) PHYs.
  o supports 32 / 64 bits DMA operations.
  o tested on big / little endian machines so should work on all
    architectures.

It'd not connected to the build until the firmware port is committed.
