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.
