Add a few clarifications to this man page. Also, add a table that

describes the minimum versions of each feature and each chipset type
supported by this driver.  Basically, unless you have a very modern

cards for much on modern networks that have any kind of protection
enabled, except for the few WEP-only stranglers that appear at some
conferences...
