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 config‐
     ured separately to allow fine-grained control over the set of chips sup‐
     ported.  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 pack‐
     aged 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.
