Do we need Zero 2 in here?

https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/raspberry-pi.html#zero-series lumps in the Zero 2 with "Zero series" ?

Perhaps "All Zero W series models."

But adding a second line for Zero 2 is minimal effort and a lot clearer.

Looking at it again, the full list says:

The following Raspberry Pi models come with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity:

  • Flagship models since Raspberry Pi 3 Model B
  • All Keyboard models
  • All Zero W models
  • All Pico W models
  • Compute Modules configured with wireless (available since CM4)

So if we were to add a separate entry for Zero 2 W (rather than assuming that "All Zero W models" covers it), that sort of implies that we'd also need to create a separate entry for Pico 2 W? And IMHO that's beyond the scope of this PR, so that should probably be discussed in a separate PR / issue.

* All Pico W models
* Compute Modules configured with wireless (available since CM4)

The "Model B" suffix indicates variants with an Ethernet port; "Model A" indicates no Ethernet port. If your Raspberry Pi doesn't have an Ethernet port, you can still connect to a wired internet connection using a USB-to-Ethernet adapter.
