Oh, I'm the ath(4) maintainer now and I'm pretty cluey in this area.

The AR5416 and later NICs have a similar looking GPIO rfkill setup but
the code isn't yet in the FreeBSD HAL.
I have it though, I just haven't ported it from the Atheros reference driver.

I'd prefer the rfkill method to be a HAL call, rather than assuming
it's a GPIO line. (I mean, it _is_ a GPIO line, but still.) In any
case, please create a PR for it now and we'll get it into -HEAD once
I've merged in rfkill support for the AR5416 and later NICs.

Thanks,


Adrian
