From the manpage: The ath driver provides support for wireless network adapters based on the Atheros AR5210, AR5211, and AR5212 chips. 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=ath&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+5.1-current&format=html -- Brooks -- Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
