Default 4.7 Install on MacBookPro (Core i7): bwi0

I'm trying to get the Wireless card functioning, and just wanted to confirm that the card isn't supported and there are no options. Here are some details:

Code:

Per bwi(4), it points me to a firmware file /etc/firmware/bwi-airforce which I can install via pkg_add via an external file. My card doesn't seem to be on that list (assuming mine is 0x0000: Vendor ID: 14e4 Product ID: 4353 ?), and any attempts to "ifconfig bwi0 create" give me a SIOCIFCREATE: Invalid Argument" error... which I believe indicates that the driver isn't found.

At the bottom of bwi(4) however, it says:
Quote:
Furthermore this driver only supports firmware version 3
I'm a bit naive, and have no idea what that actually means.

Have I looked at all the appropriate places in diagnosing my problem?
Any suggestions are welcome! Thanks!
