mine is:
vendor 0x14e4 product 0x4353 (miscellaneous network, revision 0x01) at pci7 dev 
0 function 0 not configured

which requires a separate driver and it is not supported by any of the
BSDs. It seems that 4307 is supported by:

if_bwi_pci.c:   case PCI_PRODUCT_BROADCOM_BCM4307:
pcidevs:product BROADCOM BCM4307        0x4307  BCM4307

so 4306 might be too if you add the ID in the appropriate files.
