     20Openhal  is a port of the OpenBSD hal for atheros device drivers that is source-compatible with the Madwifi driver for linux. Openhal caan be obtained directly from [http://pdos.csail.mit.edu/~jbicket/openhal/]. Openhal source is provided along with the WINLAB Madwifi and the user can build the driver with Openhal as opposed to the closed HAL in the madwifi driver source. To build with Openhal, place the Openhal source directory in the Madwifi directory. Now edit Makefile.inc and set the following:

     22HAL=${DEPTH}/openhal
     23ATH_HAL=${DEPTH}/openhal

     25After this, go to the top directory and build like you normally would.
