The Internet says that one should try the Broadcom "wl" driver for this card.  This is not part of the `wifibox-brcm` package.  But the `net/wifibox-alpine` port has the non-default `XX_DRIVER_WL` option [1] that one could configure and build manually [2].  By version `20230926`, I was able to make Broadcom cards work with the `wl` driver so there is some chance.

You could try GhostBSD via Live Media by booting from a USB flash drive Then use ethernet cable to connect Internet and  pkg install wifibox on your T430,  Share how it goes for you. You might have to install GhostBSD to an eternal SSD or 128GB USB Flsh drive. I ran GhostBSD for 6 months using a Metal Samsun 128GB USB 3.0 Flash drive stick, that I installed GhostBSd using the GBI GhostBSD Install utility I have a t430 Lenovo laptop  with Intel Centrino 6205 wifi,  maybe buy a cheap PCI Half Height WIFI Card and install to your T430, replacing the BCM43228 card. -- Fred Finster GhostBSD-Arm64.blogspot.com -- Fred Finster GhostBSD-Arm64.blogspot.com
