This is probably less of a documentation issue and more of an issue with the fact that each instance of the ath driver is based upon the prior instance, and hence it inherits any usage of legacy APIs. So unless someone notices there is a better API, or proactively adds the usage of the new API for us, the ath drivers will continue to use legacy APIs. So it is appreciated that light has been shed on this issue. /jeff
