Just a heads up.  On the US market, it is getting hard to find newer
generation motherboards without integrated wifi.  Mother board
manufacturer's are also not forth coming on the wifi chips they solder in
place.

On a budget build ASrock B450m/AC r2.0, Linux shows the chip to be an
unsupported rtl8821ce. If support is easy to add, it would be worthwhile
as it is likely to be applied as widely Realtek NIC chips.  If it's
difficult to add, OpenBSD users should avoid paying any premium for an
unsupported feature.

Thanks for your work in this area.
