ifconfig bwi0 - no such interface

Hello list, how are you doing?



I just installed a current OpenBSD snapshot and am having trouble using the
Wifi.

I already downloaded and installed the bwi-firmware, as that was one of the
ones displayed on boot as a required one.

Now if I try to use the device, as in 'ifconfig bwi0 scan' I get 'ifconfig: no
such interface'.

In dmesg I found the line

'bwi0 at pci10 dev0 function 0 "Broadcom BCM4331" rev 0x02: disabled' .



What is happening there? How can I 'enable' the device?



Thanks a lot, and have a good one.
