The new hal will not work with the existing code in cvs--that's why you 
need the patches :)

I don't intend to commit this hal.  There's not been enough feedback and 
it's already several months out of date (i.e. there are fixes that I 
want to include in any new hal I commit).

That said, the hal is definitely an improvement over what's in cvs and 
folks should see no regression from using it--so long as the also apply 
the ath+net80211 patches.
