Author: adrian Date: Sat Mar 26 02:52:04 2011 New Revision: 220019 URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/220019 Log: Update ath_hal.4 to include the latest chipset support. ath_hal needs a lot more work to encompass the list of supported cards, as the AR5416/AR9160/AR9280/AR9285 list is quite long and extensive. In addition, there's a lot of AR5212/AR5213 based cards that aren't on this list.
