Also, on the wiki, there's
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported

So, perhaps the more important question is, "How do we help users

I'm not sure whether that's a documentation team question, a marketing
team question, or even a desktop/usability team question.
