On the basis of what we have learned about the HAL from our work with it.

> modprobe ath-hal (from madwifi)
> Both bluetooth and wifi works
This does not necessarily say that the HAL does control your bluetooth
device. It's most probably a side effect of something that's done in
MadWifi (the open source part, not the HAL) to initialize your WLAN card.
> modprobe ath5k (from compat-wireless)
> Only wifi works.
ath5k is a totally different driver, and it does most things in a
different way than MadWifi.
> So, there is obviously something in the ath-hal module that also enables
the bluetooth.
This conclusion is not obvious, and I even go forward and claim that it's
totally wrong.
> I am therefore asking the ath-hal developer what it is,
We don't develop the HAL, nor do we have access to its source code. You
need to talk to Sam Leffler, since we get the HAL binaries that are used
in MadWifi from him.
