If there is anything further anyone can add, it will only be from seeing hard information. Please post the output of the following command:

$ dmesg | grep 'bwi'

While this is a way to configure an interface, the "EXAMPLES" section in the bwi(4) manpage describes how this can be done at the command-line, sans install kernel -- not that I am implying that this method will allow you to configure what appears to be a non-supported chip.
