This is not with the intention of causing a dispute or stepping someone on the 
toes --> I can only state the personal fact that when I sometime ago made a 
clean install of FreeBSD 6 Release and thereafter looked into the specifics of 
the generic kernel.conf file the 'ath' driver + 'hal' was included and I there 
upon chose to remove the driver(s) from my kernel file and then recompile a new 
slimmer kernel.
I have since moved to 6-stable, but with the same kernel.conf file .... So I'm 
not able to know what is included in the generic kernel and generic kernel.conf 
file of the present 6.1-RC, only what I have experienced in respect to a 6.0 
Release.
There are numerous other very often needed drivers which for not-known reasons 
are "missing" in the generic kernel --> but this is somewhat of a different 
discussion.
And again; to me this is a mystery situation ??
