Chip-specific support is provided by the Atheros Hardware Access Layer (HAL), that is packaged separately. Supported features include 802.11 and 802.3 frames, power management, BSS, IBSS, and host-based access point operation modes. All host/device interaction is via DMA. > Seeing as how I don't run -CURRENT, I can't > just run 'man ath'. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=3Dath&apropos=3D0&sektion=3D0&manp= ath=3DFreeBSD+5.1-current&format=3Dhtml -- Brooks --=20 Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
