The ath man page has a url that points to a page at the Atheros web site where all products using their chips are listed (or at least all those publicly disclosed). That is the definitive list and any attempt to maintain one in the driver is pointless. The only issue with that info is that Atheros marks usage by their chip id's which we don't track; we only classify use according to the programming api (5210, 5211, 5212). However given the scarcity of 5210 and 5211 parts folks can pretty much assume everything is a 5212. SamReceived on Fri Apr 29 2005 - 15:43:42 UTC
