5213 is really a feature set.  The documentation talks about 5212 
support which is sufficient.  The 6.x hal supports all the currently 
available pci/cardbus parts EXCEPT for the latest 
single-chip/PCI-Express parts.  Those parts are supported in the hal I 
have out at http://www.freebsd.org/~sam.  No idea if/when I'll commit 
the hal and related mods to cvs.
