Community generated, lots of entires, broken down by manufacturer. Lists 
the specific revisions of cards and their level and mechanism of support.

Manufacturer cooperation would sure be nice. We should at least be able 
to pick up a wireless card at a store and see the chipset used listed on 
the packaging.
