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.

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The hal provides hardware support for wireless network adapters based on
|
|
the Atheros AR5210, AR5211, AR5212, AR5416, and AR9160 chips.
|
|
This code is part of the
|
|
.Xr ath 4
|
|
driver but configured separately to allow fine-grained control
|
|
over the set of chips supported.
|
|
Selecting
|
|
.Nm
|
|
enables support for all PCI and Cardbus devices.
|
|
Note this includes AR5416 devices and must be accompanied by the
|
|
AH_SUPPORT_AR5416
|
|
option to enable the extended hardware descriptor format used by
|
|
AR5416 and later devices.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Devices supported come in either Cardbus or mini-PCI packages.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Historically this code has been released in a binary-only form
|
|
and packaged as a separate module.
|
|
With the release of source code for the hal this is no longer true
|
|
and the code is tightly integrated with the driver.
|
|
