And now I don't know what to do, either to delete my http://code.google.com/p/osx-bcm5906m/ project which is still under construction, or finish the driver and upload it there, but now it doesn't make any sense
ugh, sorry to hear that,
initially, i developed this driver for my card(5787m), since bcm5906 is also documented in the manual, i decided to support the model.

since you have started, don't stop! just finish it, take this as an exercise for you, it gives you experience and it can be beneficial to you and the community in the future. surely it seems like a waste of time, but it's your choice. if it were for me, i would go for that route
