HEAD has the iwn driver that supports 4965 parts but not the newer 5000
parts.  I've not heard of anyone working to add 5000 support.

Atheros XSPAN is a class of parts.  HEAD supports 5416 parts in legacy
mode.  I have experimental code to support 9160 parts (legacy only
again) but haven't sent it out yet.  I also have code to support 9280
and 9285 parts but no hardware to test against and I am unwilling to put
out the code untested.
