If it /were/ available, is that what you're after (judging from the
contents of 4.9)? Your original question was about wifi cards, then
corrected to adapters. Generally, the kernel docs deal with chipsets,
and are fairly uninterested in which hardware they are embedded.

This can be frustrating when you want to purchase a suitable device,
as even the same model name (on the box) can have different chipsets
inside from one instance to another, particularly with cheap ones.

So it might help to clarify from which viewpoint you seek the info,
and any particular cards/adapters/chipsets involved.

Cheers,
David.
