How about looking for the PCI id?

0x14E4 Broadcom Corporation www.broadcom.com

This should be available in dmesg, may be other places it's available as well.

Eg

Quote:
Run "lspci" and "lspci -n" in an xterminal to find the MANFID number of your card.

If you see 14e4:4318 or 14e4:4320 then your card is Broadcom-based....

UBSEC(4)						   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						  UBSEC(4)

NAME
ubsec -- Broadcom and BlueSteel uBsec 5x0x crypto accelerator SYNOPSIS
ubsec* at pci? dev ? function ? DESCRIPTION
The ubsec driver supports cards containing any of the following chips: Bluesteel 5501 The original chipset, no longer made. This extremely rare unit was not very fast, lacked an RNG, and had a number of other bugs. Bluesteel 5601 A faster and fixed version of the original, with a random number unit and large number engine added. Broadcom BCM5801 A BCM5805 without public key engine or random number generator. Broadcom BCM5802 A slower version of the BCM5805. Broadcom BCM5805 Faster version of Bluesteel 5601. Broadcom BCM5820 64 bit version of the chip, and significantly more advanced. Broadcom BCM5821 Faster version of the BCM5820. (This is the chip found on the Sun Crypto Accelerator 1000.) Broadcom BCM5822 Faster version of the BCM5820. Broadcom BCM5823 Faster version of the BCM5822. Broadcom BCM5823 Faster version of the BCM5821, with AES hardware. The ubsec driver registers itself to accelerate DES, Triple-DES, MD5, SHA1, MD5-HMAC, and SHA1-HMAC operations for opencrypto(9), and thus for fast_ipsec(4) and crypto(4). On those models which contain a public key engine (almost all of the more recent ones), this feature is registered with the crypto(4) subsys- tem. On all models except the Bluesteel 5501 and Broadcom 5801, the driver registers itself to provide random data to the rnd(4) subsystem. SEE ALSO
crypto(4), fast_ipsec(4), intro(4), rnd(4), opencrypto(9) HISTORY
The ubsec device driver appeared in OpenBSD 2.8. The ubsec device driver was imported to FreeBSD 5.0, back-ported to FreeBSD 4.8, and subse- quently imported to NetBSD 2.0. BUGS
The BCM5801 and BCM5802 have not actually been tested. Whilst some of the newer chips support AES, AES is not supported by the driver. BSD
