I don't mind if this information is removed from the manual of the
device driver but I do mind if this information is lost without being
implemented somewhere else. Maybe it can be a list on the web FAQ
somewhere if you don't want it there. I'd also be happy to help
maintain that list of "known working hardware for driver X".

For this kind of thought, the hardware lists could be extracted from
each of the driver man pages, then turned into a "Hardware Compatibility
List".  eg:

  1GbE network cards

  Intel I340-T4                   em
  Intel I350-T2                   em
  Intel I350-T4                   em


  10GbE network cards
  *******************

  Model                           Driver
  Intel X350-T4                   ix


  Wifi cards
  **********

  Model                           Driver
  A-Link WL54H                    ral
  AirLive WN-5000PCI              ral
  Amigo AWI-926W                  ral
  AMIT WL531P                     ral
  AOpen AOI-831                   ral
  ASUS WL-130G                    ral
  ASUS WL-130N                    ral
  ASUS WIFI-G-AAY                 ral


Having this info in one easy-to-search location sounds like it would
be even better for some use cases (eg people looking for hardware by
category, instead of by driver).

This kind of list could probably benefit from a field like "Supported
from", indicating which release of OpenBSD added the support.

  eg 5.8, 5.9, etc.
