5213 is really a feature set. The documentation talks about 5212
support which is sufficient. The 6.x hal supports all the currently
available pci/cardbus parts EXCEPT for the latest
single-chip/PCI-Express parts. Those parts are supported in the hal I
have out at http://www.freebsd.org/~sam. No idea if/when I'll commit
the hal and related mods to cvs.
