Obviously, after 7.1, but how long ? I think (sm) that if everyone interested in MFC and running RELENG_7 would replace his local copy of /usr/src/sys/contrib/dev/ath with the one from the HEAD, rebuild his kernel, or, as it was the case for me, ath_hal.ko and if_ath.ko, run with it for a while and report success back to this list, we can speed this up dramatically. In my experience, replacing 9.x.x.x HAL that came with RELENG_7 with this one solved at least one persistent and annoying problem, and so far has not shown any regressions. YMMV. But then again, I am not the one who would be doing MFC, so this is just an assumption on my part, not necessarily correct or useful. -- Alexandre "Sunny" Kovalenko (Олександр Коваленко)
