- ---help---
- This module adds support for wireless adapters based on
- Atheros 5xxx chipset.
-
- Currently the following chip versions are supported:
-
- MAC: AR5211 AR5212
- PHY: RF5111/2111 RF5112/2112 RF5413/2413
-
- This driver uses the kernel's mac80211 subsystem.
-
- If you choose to build a module, it'll be called ath5k. Say M if
- unsure.
