AFAIK the man pages are all up to date and explain the current state on

To summarize: For best hostap experience use a supported athn(4)
device on PCI. That's what I use at home and it just works.
Avoid USB for hostap if at all possible.
Thank you very much for the answer.
There is the usual problem that many of the devices listed are not
available anymore, or there are numerous versions with the same device
name where the manufacturer altered the chipset. I sometimes wish that
store pages would be as clear as OpenBSD man pages.
So, Stuart's comment is still valid. I will stop looking for a USB
solution, and instead see if I can find a low power chassis with a PCI
slot. While more expensive, it is probably money well invested.
Thanks,
Bernd
