  As far as I understand, HEAD uses new HAL, so update is not simple
one... Or is RELENG_7 HAL build from same (Ok, previous version)
sources, as used in HEAD and HAL itself could be ported? (I understand,
that ath DRIVER could not be backported, because all massive wlan
changes).

  And using HEAD in production... Hmm. Is it good idea?

  Are current MiniPCI versions (AR5006[suffix]) supported by RELENG_7
 HAL?
