Wii: bwi driver fails to attach for device id 0x044b on NetBSD 11.0-BETA



Hello,

I'm running NetBSD 11.0-BETA (WII) on a Nintendo Wii (build from Oct 5, 2025).

uname -a:
NetBSD wii 11.0_BETA NetBSD 11.0_BETA (WII) #0 Fri Oct 3 16:09:55 UTC 2025 mk repro%mkrepro.NetBSD.org@localhost:/usr/src/sys/arch/evbppc/compile/WII evbppc

dmesg | grep -i bwi -n
74:[     1.209984] bwi0 at sdmmc1 function 1: broadcom Wireless
75:[     1.209984] bwi0: autoconfiguration error: no BBP id for device id 0x044b

I followed Jared McNeill’s instructions for adding Wii WLAN support to -current (see: https://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-powerpc/2025/01/19/msg003669.html) and installed the v3 firmware per bwi(4). The driver detects the device but reports “no BBP id for device id 0x044b” and, as expected, I only see the loopback adapter lo0. I suspect this may be a hardware revision not present in the driver's table. If that’s the case, is it possible to add support for this device?

Thanks,
DeltaResero
