Thanks for the details. Googling, I found some discussions about this
card, including this:
https://old.reddit.com/r/linuxquestions/comments/4wh3gu/is_the_broadcom_bcm5709_chipset_no_longer/
I believe this is the Linux configuration option / driver:

However, since it appears that this driver is not free software,
linux-libre will have disabled it and it won't be supported within GNU
Guix.
