At the risk of sounding like a broken record, there are patches for
OpenBSD that add USB support to wi.  That will cover a large number of
USB 802.11b adapters, although it will probably not cover new adapters.

The OpenBSD patches look fine, and if somebody was to port them to NetBSD,
I don't think we could reasonably refuse them.  However, I maintain
that the delay loops in wi *must* go, and it will be easier to get rid
of them *before* adding USB support than *after*.  (The way that awi
avoids delay loops looks pretty reasonable.)
