This is an OpenPGP/MIME signed message (RFC 2440 and 3156) --------------enig720E5F4332E0CFA864443E27 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable If memory serves me right, Giorgos Keramidas wrote: > keramida 2006-05-12 12:55:56 UTC >=20 > FreeBSD src repository (doc committer) >=20 > Modified files: > share/man/man4 ath.4=20 > Log: > After a mini-discussion with Sam Leffler, remove the hardcoded > list of Atheros-based cards from ath(4).

(Remember that the hardware notes are partially generated from manpages.) Here's the entry for ath(4), as well as the the entry that immediately precedes it: Cards supported by the cnw(4) driver include: * Xircom CreditCard Netwave * NetWave AirSurfer A list of cards that are supported can be found at http://customerproducts.atheros.com/customerproducts. The ath(4) driver supports all Atheros Cardbus or PCI cards, except those that are based on the AR5005VL chipset. It's not clear to me whether it'd be better to reword the above sentences in the manpage to make them more suitable for "dual use", or if it'd be better to hard-code some appropriate text into the hardware notes. (In any case, please keep the Web pointer in the hardware notes if possible.) Cheers, Bruce. --------------enig720E5F4332E0CFA864443E27 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEZLW22MoxcVugUsMRAkYuAKCpwvlETLYejOYESildm63O/KvOmQCfcMzO jCoR/8rM2Umvfw9b//EajfE= =Oer4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig720E5F4332E0CFA864443E27--
