It's included into  8.0-CURRENT-200809-i386 snapshot if I understand correctly.

I've tried 7.1-BETA and 8.0-CURRENT-200809 on my eeepc model 701

7.1 does not recognize ath0, as expected, but 8.0-CURRENT does.

The corresponding dmesg can be found here :

* http://www.prism.uvsq.fr/~hpc/pmwiki/uploads/Data/dmesg-8.0-200809.txt

The 8.0-CURRENT-200809-i386 contain ath_hal 0.10.5.10 but I was unable
to use the interface. "dhclient ath0" never give up. Let me know if I
can try something.

In the past I had success with 7.0 code base + madwifi-ng-r2756+ar5007.hal
I was able to use ath with dhclient and wpa_supplicant.

And what about the rj45 interface for eee 701 ? Any chance to be supported
in a near future ?
