The Pi 3 WiFi is a Broadcom BCM43438.

Required SDIO support which is disabled in the current kernel config.

EDIT: This option is for Soft-MAC devices that are usually PCI. The chip that's on Pi3 is likely a Full-MAC, which uses a different option that is already enabled.

Appears the binary firmware for brcmfullmac43430 is missing from the linux-firmware package. Found one in RPi-Distro/firmware-nonfree repo (license is here).
