To enable wifi on a raspberry pi:

If you did not already add the ethernet type to cmdline.txt before running Plan 9:

% dossrv; mount /srv/dos /n/9fat /dev/sdM0/dos

Use sam -d to edit /n/9fat/cmdline.txt:

readparts=1 nobootprompt=local console='0 b115200' ether1=type=4330

Afterwards, reboot:

% reboot

To enable wifi:

% bind -a '#l1' /net
ether4330: chip 43430 rev 1 type 1
ether4330: firmware ready
ether4330: addr b827eb2a85bf
