What does HIF mean in Networking?

Host Interconnect Framework

From the http://wireless.kernel.org/: HTC calls into the HIF layer when it needs to access the chipset address space. An HIF implementation exists for each combination of platform and interconnect API (e.g., HIF for Linux standard SDIO/MMC stack). This layer abstracts away register and memory access details and provides an interconnect-independent and platform-independent API for use (mainly) by HTC. This layer source is in the ath6kl/hif/ directory.
