Re: "Finally the new Broadcom WiFi card arrived for my old..."
I did disassemble the laptop; with older models you can go far with some specialised screwdrivers. All it needed fortunately was taking off the bottom cover. Then you can unplug the wifi card. My choices are limited because Apple used a proprietary connector, but there are some chipsets which are OK from certain models, it’s just a question of not misreading the exact model…

Correct WiFi card arrived, chipset recognised properly, fw_update from USB successful, now sending on my dmesg to OpenBSD, God willing! 🥳

great news @requiem :)
yaaaay, so glad for you.
Finally the new Broadcom WiFi card arrived for my old Macbook Air, so I can give OpenBSD a proper go! I am so excited about it. Installed the new card, flashed install75.img, off I go, wish me luck!
