Well, would thyat be the solution ?  Perhaps if the list with
compatibility explicitely mentions the chipset and exact naming it would
still work; example: Netgear FA410TX works but not the 'C' version of
it. if that would be mentioned, it would still be informative to all
users.

My point was (and is !) ment as a positive comment/contribution, my aim
is to get OpenBSD (icl. website) better. It is not ment to just have
comment. Removing th compatibility list is something I would prefer to
keep on it, as a service to our OpenBSD users. 

If this means somebody has to keep that part up to date on a regular
basis, then I have no problem in doing that. (after all: if you have
comment, not just comment but also contribute !)
