It's something like
	pcictl pci0 list

Detailed information with
	pcictl pci0 dump 
plus parameters to specify which device.

I fear there is no driver for that chip. FreeBSD might have support for
it in the bwn driver, but that won't help you.

For Wifi you probably need something like an USB dongle, something like
an Edimax EW-7811Un should work. Since NetBSD so far only supports
802.11a/b/g, you also need to make sure that your WiFi (accesspoint/router)
has this enabled (it usually has).
