That's really basic information. Where is it stated that the libertas
driver is for the 8388, 8385, and 8686 chipsets? I didn't see it in the
archives anywhere, and I didn't see it here

which is where I came across this list. 

Perhaps it would be a very good idea to be more explicit about this,
especially since the name "Libertas" means different things to different
chips? It also would have saved me about an hour.
