For example only due to historical reasons qualcomm wireless drivers currently under ath directory but who knows if at some point we switch using qcom (or qualcomm) directory. Also the wireless drivers might easily have filenames containing strings like "msm" or "qcom" (which I assume would match with "N" rules above). -- Kalle Valo
