I am trying to test the wifi BCM 4322 on a imac installed with 13.1 Release recompile the kernel to include the PHY option but found the following logs:

bwn0: ucode fw: ucode16_mimo
bwn_v4_ucode16_mimo: could not load firmware image, error 2
bwn0: the fw file(bwn_v4_ucode16_mimo) not found
bwn0: ucode fw: ucode16_mimo
bwn-open_v4_ucode16_mimo: could not load firmware image, error 2
bwn0: the fw file(bwn-open_v4_ucode16_mimo) not found

I find a 2016 mailing list that says the firmware isn't supported so want to check if this is still the case.
 
I was reading the makefile for the bwn kmod port and caught my eye the firmware is there so I get to work by redoing from step 1.
