Dear misc,
I preferred workaround using small USB device (urtwn) I had bought for
this purpose.
Model: TP-LINK WN725N (EU) v3. It works!
Finally I can report that v3 could be added to man as potentially OK.
Current text mentions only v2.
By the way, OpenBSD Archive contains other positive reports about v3.
Thank you all (Theo, Stefan, Eric, Stuart, Kevin, Mihai) for the
detailed answers.

If you really want support for this card the best thing to do is buy
one and contact Theo DeRaadt for information on who to send
it to so they can work on supporting it. If a developer does not
have one of these cards in their possession they can't work on
the driver to make it supported.
Bingo.
Or look at the source, and mail a package to those people.
But the other approach of begging people without the hardware to add
support is rather ridiculous.
