       ok, maybe it sounded to harsh. What I really meant was that when I
       was doing my research on the atheros chipset I revealed some
       differences between what is actually in HAL and what is in openbsd
       driver. It could have been due to the update schedule of madwifi. It
       is always easier to be up to date with the vendor supported driver
       than with reverse engineered one. Anyways what I saw was that some
       parts were missing in openbsd. I don't know how much in overall.
