Pulling in a hal from madwifi to use w/ a freebsd driver can easily 
cause problems.  That is what I meant by "random collection...".

The hal is not in HEAD so MFC to RELENG_7 is premature.  In fact I 
hadn't even announced the hal for testing yet but now that I've returned 
from 3 weeks AFK it's probably time.  I also wanted to backport all the 
important driver mods to RELENG_7 before saying anything but that didn't 
happen.
