Thanks for the confirmation!

Is anything known re. a timeline for implementation of wireless-N? (8.1? 9.0?)

I know that Rui Paulo is working on this actively; I've added him to the CC line as I'm not sure if he follows freebsd-stable.

Hi All,

Got myself an Atheros AR5416 card to upgrade my HostAP to Wireless-N speed.

Somehow I can't find a way to convince the driver to go into 11n mode

# ifconfig wlan0 mode 11b
# ifconfig wlan0 mode 11g
# ifconfig wlan0 mode 11n
ifconfig: SIOCSIFMEDIA (media): Device not configured

It's either mode 11na or mode 11ng.

The man-page for ifconfig specifies only 11a, 11b and 11g as modes.
The part is functioning fine in 11g mode.

Am I missing something obvious or is Wireless-N support not fully
implemented yet?

There is no rate control algo fuer 11n, afaik, you will only be able to
use legacy rates.
