The new hal will not work with the existing code in cvs--that's why you need the patches :) I don't intend to commit this hal. There's not been enough feedback and it's already several months out of date (i.e. there are fixes that I want to include in any new hal I commit). That said, the hal is definitely an improvement over what's in cvs and folks should see no regression from using it--so long as the also apply the ath+net80211 patches. Sam
