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 You are right, this list is out of date and doesn't even list some supported drivers (e.g. ahci), let alone devices.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.

Although many 802.11n devices are claimed supported, 802.11n capability is mostly not excluded, like run(4), otus(4), urtwn(4). This has already been asked many times in the past. From the manpage of one of the wifi card drivers I use: CAVEATS The iwn driver does not support any of the 802.11n capabilities offered by the adapters. Additional work is required in ieee80211(9) before those features can be supported. The manpages you mention say the same.

But they're in sync and both have this cvs Id on the i386.html page: $OpenBSD: i386.html,v 1.713 2013/01/30 09:47:46 kirby Exp $ I can't think of something both official and more and up-to-date.
