The ath(4) and ath_hal(4) modules now build piecemeal to allow for
|
||||
smaller runtime footprint builds. This is useful for embedded systems
|
||||
which only require one chipset support.
|
||||
|
||||
If you load it as a module, make sure this is in /boot/loader.conf:
|
||||
|
||||
if_ath_load="YES"
|
||||
|
||||
This will load the HAL, all chip/RF backends and if_ath_pci.
|
||||
If you have if_ath_pci in /boot/loader.conf, ensure it is after
|
||||
if_ath or it will not load any HAL chipset support.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to selectively load things (eg on ye cheape ARM/MIPS
|
||||
platforms where RAM is at a premium) you should:
|
||||
|
||||
* load ath_hal
|
||||
* load the chip modules in question
|
||||
* load ath_rate, ath_dfs
|
||||
* load ath_main
|
||||
* load if_ath_pci and/or if_ath_ahb depending upon your particular
|
||||
bus bind type - this is where probe/attach is done.

a number of types to 64 bits. Upgrading in place requires care and
