ATH_HAL(4)		    Kernel Interfaces Manual		    ATH_HAL(4)

NAME
       ath_hal -- Atheros Hardware Access Layer	(HAL)

SYNOPSIS
       device ath_hal
       or
       device ath_ar5210
       device ath_ar5211
       device ath_ar5212
       device ath_rf2413
       device ath_rf2417
       device ath_rf2425
       device ath_rf5111
       device ath_rf5112
       device ath_rf5413
       device ath_ar5416
       device ath_ar9160
       device ath_ar9280

       device ath_ar9300

DESCRIPTION
       The  hal	 provides hardware support for wireless	network	adapters based
       on the Atheros AR5210, AR5211, AR5212, AR5213, AR2413, AR2417,  AR2425,
       AR5413, AR5416, AR5418, AR5424, AR9160, AR9220, AR9280, AR9285, AR9287,
       AR9380, AR9390, AR9580, AR9590, AR9562 and QCA9565 chips	(and companion
       RF/baseband parts).  This code is part of the ath(4) driver but config-
       ured  separately	 to  allow  fine-grained control over the set of chips
       supported.  Selecting ath_hal enables support for all PCI  and  Cardbus
       devices.

       Some  devices  come in Cardbus/MiniPCI/PCI format.  Others (for example
       AR2413, AR2427, AR5418, AR9280, AR9285, AR9287) come in PCIe, Mini-PCIe
       or ExpressCard format.

       Historically this code has been released	 in  a	binary-only  form  and
       packaged	as a separate module.  With the	release	of source code for the
       hal  this is no longer true and the code	is tightly integrated with the
       driver.
