Committed Nick's port of ar5k (openal) to both branches, both now have the openhal. Please note (very important): We are basing our openhal on OpenBSD's ar5k. Because of this and since the GPL does not allow us to commit changes on the GPL version back to the BSD version please sumbit your non-linux enhancements to the HAL to "Reyk Floeter" and CC madwifi-devel. We have an openhal.org which we can start to use, should Reyk want, to use as the master tree of the ar5k to make sure any enhancements on the HAL go to both BSD and Linux. The licensing on the master tree should be kept BSD as Reyk wants it to be. This way Linux or BSD contributions can go into one tree and later revisions can be added to dadwifi/openbsd with their own specific BSD'isms and Linux'isms. Keep in mind the Linux port will remain dual licensed BSD/GPL. Let me know what you think Reyk. Luis
