... and includes the original copyright notice in any source or
binary distribution (the "BSD advertising clause")

If the driver is indeed based on the same code as the FreeBSD driver,
then something is not quite right, as that code pretty clearly
requires the copyright notice:

http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/ic/wi.c?
rev=1.218&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup

But I give Hiroshithe benefit of doubt here since I have no idea how
the driver is implemented.
