I've added the new entry (in SVN):

does the device prevent the installation of wifi cards not-approved by the 
vendor?

- not specified
- no
- yes, please specify inside the description entry

And added the link to the help page:

http://h-node.org/wiki/page/en/guidelines-on-how-to-compile-a-hardware-device-page

In that page I've added the section:

[h1]Does the device prevent the installation of wifi cards not-approved by the 
vendor?[/h1]

We can now start to improve this new section (currently empty) in order to help 
the user to compile this new entry
