Rather than trying some commands myself, I just chose an n-compatible channel (channel 40) from the list and put it into hostapd.conf hostapd.conf managed to configure the card into the correct mode :-) However for informative purposes, I'd still like to know what the difference is and why in this case hostapd.conf is mandatory? (I mean I know it is for WPA, but why did the kernel refuse the manual commands?). regards, Georg -------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: Trying to get IEEE80211n (in hostap) running for ATH9280 Datum: Sat, 22 Jul 2017 15:21:15 +0200 Von: Georg Bege <georg@bege.email> Antwort an: georg@bege.email An: freebsd-wireless@freebsd.org Hello everyone, Im one of the sad people not getting IEEE80211n to run (in hostap!).

Any hints where I can read up how this works or an page which tells the definitive commands which are necessary is highly appreciated. As far as I understood 11.0-RELEASE should be recent enough (?), however I can of course upgrade the box to 11.0-STABLE as well. Just not sure if its worth the buzz... best regards, Georg --=20 Georg Bege Mail: georg@bege.email XMPP: therion@ninth-art.de IRC: megaTherion @ Freenode --06x88l7NDBjOxpqhxOW6uXSQK7SIr8bBF-- --EuG6wjjkWtdQWjTvWlCr6mmF0vbqK1icR Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQJFBAEBCAAvFiEEJdJ9breeFh2CnEOSXOBJMQYP8oMFAllzY/gRHGdlb3JnQGJl Z2UuZW1haWwACgkQXOBJMQYP8oOR5RAAw9RxEXVDFGGs5jLI26ggCA7MHcTStbft 3HkgvPO95vMAYZhbYZIY++3+feWsKBJXBWhEbKuIiioZOv1aeKgSo0Rl4zvWKmzr Zw9BaeH4FA7aYOCarun7wS46MZs4dQCLNy0z1r9p0uTznJ0hUktR2xjxCXLcGefZ sAnh1drNGMiSeRNbfNMUWPzbInLngt1SYlttOXLJyEkDq7HCWsfkDOToNEwPWkkV 7+3HaeAwI1jafTgenWQcai0saq7WVWInfKOiIOWMsbr2m5PJTrMxc45T9nxO3YIi Rw2rhc3JmjSYFrUNNaG792dQfYKr933+m8fGrDYpQI0ngrNBZm64d0YMyARJXxV8 2D26IfAAgaxEY30L3G11PN+P9e/E7EdqB6/emEjJlhk0teAn0rH2ybhBFhFyFjgy 6MejhbZwPIj9hpmWOdy5rB/QYp34e44at7BtUy6dOVfEiaHvP9IpgeoeiMGK8eiH UBJ9R4ZOWj0+u4aq/62cqp5i9mZ2O2AjkEg93N3gjSwiC70K6AkjGCOHJMglb4Jg 1mn0iqweVYiY9/Xx4KYSDJtb93HMwEuPfUcYllkqod2s71Z7qlkgcSJmaU8+vhf1 v/5LLlSUr2a12xp3uyJeyROptlGjFFmqG+VgbhH+PWuhpHnEmVzApzWzYTywJBWB ggRWks70MrI= =Yo69 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --EuG6wjjkWtdQWjTvWlCr6mmF0vbqK1icR--
