Try compiling the drivers into the kernel

It seems to be a good start.

to get an idea of which ones to compile in and how to configure everything, use these sources

man bwi

to get an idea of how to compile a kernel

Hint: You may have to run dhclient ("dhclient wlan0" on my system)
Hint: You may have to run dhclient as root

Feel free to ask questions, as I am not at that computer at this moment.

The bwi driver might support it, although it doesn't list a 4311. You could better identify exactly what you have with # pciconf -lv | grep -i -B1 -A2 broadcom

The first line with the hex combinations has the vendor and product codes.
 
I have a Broadcom BCM4311 wireless adapter. The FreeBSD driver doesn't work because it's based on Mac version 10, and my device is based on Mac version 13.

Is there an updated driver for the Broadcom 4311?

On Linux, Debian has a driver that works perfectly.

And if there's a FreeBSD driver with this update for Mac version 13, please send me the download link.
