I have another problem where the bwn is fully recognized and wlan0 is
created but the interface doesn't scan at all:

doing "ifconfig wlan0 list scan" ends up immediately without further output.
The dmesg is here: http://www.freebsd.org/~attilio/dmesg-bwn0.diff

I had a similar problem w/ a 4309.

If you haven't solved this already, please check that the radio is
actually enabled. some laptops have a button. some have a key sequence.
many also have a BIOS setting. mine looked pretty much the same as yours
to FreeBSD but just endlessly scanned the channels for a signal until i
noticed that the radio was disabled in BIOS.
