OpenBSD doesn't use a close source driver for Broadcom devices, the bwi firmware is code that is uploaded & executed by the chipsets internal processor.. not by the kernel.

This terminology confusion is quite common, leading many to believe that OpenBSD ships proprietary drivers.. it certainly does not.
