Broadcom has chosen to reveal virtually nothing about their hardware, and as a 
result is one of the most poorly supported chipsets in the open source 
community.

In Linux one can only use Broadcom chipsets with wrappers like Ndiswrapper and 
Linuxant, which simply wrap the Windows driver.  This is obviously less than 
desirable, and while it _works_, many things are unsupported when doing this, 
such as Kismet.

The only way you're going to use a Broadcom chipset in NetBSD is to do 
something similar.  I am not sure if it is possible, but at least you know 
what direction to look.

I have got a feeling you would be better off just getting a different card 
unfortunately,  Broadcoms are nothing but headaches. I can personally 
reccomend Atheros and PrismGT chipsets as being much easier to work with.
