ath_hal needs a lot more work to encompass the list of supported
cards, as the AR5416/AR9160/AR9280/AR9285 list is quite long
and extensive. In addition, there's a lot of AR5212/AR5213 based
cards that aren't on this list.
version of it. There is also a WG311v3 which uses a chipset covered by
malo(4). Along the way add the WG311T to the list which is also an

module; the ath module now brings in the hal support. Kernel
config files are almost backwards compatible; supplying
device ath_hal
gives you the same chip support that the binary hal did but you
must also include
options AH_SUPPORT_AR5416
to enable the extended format descriptors used by 11n parts.
It is now possible to control the chip support included in a
build by specifying exactly which chips are to be supported
in the config file; consult ath_hal(4) for information.
- Mark up each item in the device list with .It, as per mdoc(7) and to
make it simpler for auto generated Hardware Notes to parse the manual
page.
