Just a heads-up for anyone in the market for OpenBSD-compatible USB
wireless adapters:

A friend of mine recently bought a Trendnet TEW-429UB which according to
the zyd manpage has the ZyDAS chipset. (Technically, he bought it for a
laptop running a GNU+Linux system but my advice has been to buy wireless
hardware that will work with OpenBSD because of the project's commitment
to software freedom, but the issue still applies equally.)

Well, some clown changed the wireless chipset in that adapter without
changing the model number. What is there now is some Realtek wireless
chipset (the rtw driver doesn't support anything USB so I doubt it's an
8180, I think I remember seeing a reference to 8198 somewhere).
