ATH_HAL(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual ATH_HAL(4)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 con-
figured separately to allow fine-grained control over the set of chips supported. Selecting ath_hal 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.
