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 # uname -a FreeBSD server.example.org 8.0-RELEASE-p2 FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE-p2 #1: Thu Jan 14 16:35:41 UTC 2010 root@:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SERVER80 i386 # dmesg | grep ath ath0: <Atheros 5416> mem 0xfcfd0000-0xfcfdffff irq 9 at device 3.0 on pci1 ath0: [ITHREAD] ath0: AR5416 mac 13.10 RF2133 phy 8.1 kernel was compiled with options AH_SUPPORT_AR5416 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? Kind regards, Spil.
