thanks for the pointer! last archive.org crawl from 2019-10-31: https://web.archive.org/web/20191031174603/https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Broadcom https://web.archive.org/web/20191031174603/https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Broadcom#tab=Wireless_chipsets but the links to the real-world products ("adapters") do not work. src/sys/dev/usb/if_bwfm_usb.c has: BCM43143, BCM43236, BCM43242, BCM43569 BCM43143 was the famous rpi usb dongle. I could not find a place to buy it anymore. The others (BCM43236, BCM43242, BCM43569) are hiding from me, too.
