No. It's not specific to a particular driver, there is no support in the ieee80211(9) layer yet. > And, btw, how to find the official status page, for example, about > supported hardward, the list provided in the page > http://openbsd.org/i386.html seems not updated. You are right, this list is out of date and doesn't even list some supported drivers (e.g. ahci), let alone devices. I don't think we can hope to maintain a full list of particular hardware models here (the driver manpages are probably the best place for these), but we should at least list all the drivers. I would welcome a diff to add any missing drivers present in GENERIC, and possibly also remove some of the particular hardware models in favour of a note suggesting that people follow the links to driver manpages for more information. Most if not all changes made to i386 would also apply to amd64 and maybe some other arch.
