The AR5416 and later NICs have a similar looking GPIO rfkill setup but the code isn't yet in the FreeBSD HAL. I have it though, I just haven't ported it from the Atheros reference driver. I'd prefer the rfkill method to be a HAL call, rather than assuming it's a GPIO line. (I mean, it _is_ a GPIO line, but still.) In any case, please create a PR for it now and we'll get it into -HEAD once I've merged in rfkill support for the AR5416 and later NICs. Thanks, Adrian (I work at Atheros now, so..)
