Dose the freescale SDK 1.7 has a support for Atheros Wifi Module ?

Hi  All ,

I am using SDK 1.7/1.8  for our custom board designed based on ls1021aiot. My question is Is there a support for Atheros wifi module. I have Module connected on mini PCIe and I can see foillowing when I do ''lspci -kv'

root@ls1021aiot:~# lspci -kv

Is there a inbuilt driver support  for "Qualcomm Atheros AR9580 Wireless Network Adapter" . Is there a module/driver that I need to enabled through menuconfig. Do I need to custom build the driver ? . Is there a basic support for atheros WIFI module.?? How can I enable it or use it?.  Appreciate your help on this. 

Thanks

Dhruval

NXP SDK for LS1021A-IOT board supports Atheros wifi module. See attached files. These files are screenshot from kernel menu from NXP SDK for LS1021A-IOT board.

Have a great day,

Which SDK I can use for this ?  I did tried to do menuconfig  on my yocto for kernel  but I did not find any thing for it. DO I need to purchase Atheros support ? Is there a special way to invoke/build this module ?
