Sync wpa_supplicant man page with README changes

The man page source was not up-to-date with removed driver wrappers,
so bring in the wpa_supplicant/README changes to make this somewhat
closer to the current state.

<term>Broadcom wl.o driver</term>
<listitem>
<para> This is a generic Linux driver for Broadcom IEEE
802.11a/g cards. However, it is proprietary driver that is
not publicly available except for couple of exceptions, mainly
Broadcom-based APs/wireless routers that use Linux. The driver
binary can be downloaded, e.g., from Linksys support site
(http://www.linksys.com/support/gpl.asp) for Linksys
WRT54G. The GPL tarball includes cross-compiler and the needed
header file, wlioctl.h, for compiling wpa_supplicant. This
driver support in wpa_supplicant is expected to work also with
other devices based on Broadcom driver (assuming the driver
includes client mode support).</para>
