NAME

ath_hal - Atheros Hardware Access Layer (HAL)

SYNOPSIS

device ath_hal options AH_SUPPORT_AR5416 or device ath_ar5210 device ath_ar5211 device ath_ar5212 device ath_rf2413 device ath_rf2417 device ath_rf2425 device ath_rf5111 device ath_rf5112 device ath_rf5413 device ath_ar5416 device ath_ar9160 device ath_ar9280 options AH_SUPPORT_AR5416

DESCRIPTION

The hal provides hardware support for wireless network adapters based on the Atheros AR5210, AR5211, AR5212, AR5213, AR2413, AR2417, AR2425, AR5413, AR5416, AR5418, AR5424, AR9160, and AR9280 chips (and companion RF/baseband parts). This code is part of the ath(4) driver but configured separately to allow fine-grained control over the set of chips supported. Selecting enables support for all PCI and Cardbus devices. Note this includes AR5416, AR9160, and AR9280 devices and must be accompanied by the AH_SUPPORT_AR5416 option to enable the extended hardware descriptor format used by AR5416 and later devices.

Devices supported come in either Cardbus or mini-PCI packages.

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.
