I started with the Freebsd alc driver, and wound up with a new version
of the illumos atge driver.  This was in 2010.  Much has changed since
then.  At the time, I tested the AR8132 on my ASUS laptop.  Masayuki
Murayama tested the AR8131 on his laptop.  This was my first driver.
I had a great deal of help from other people.  There was one report in
2012 of a driver failure with AR8151 v2.0 hardware.
