thanks for the pointer!
last archive.org crawl from 2019-10-31:

but the links to the real-world products ("adapters") do not work.
src/sys/dev/usb/if_bwfm_usb.c has:
BCM43143, BCM43236, BCM43242, BCM43569
BCM43143 was the famous rpi usb dongle. I could not find a place to
buy it anymore. The others (BCM43236, BCM43242, BCM43569) are hiding
from me, too.
