Maybe the 11n rates are behind boot_verbose (which I have enabled), but at least on CURRENT they are included in the system messages: fk@r500 ~ $dmesg | grep iwn0: iwn0: <Intel WiFi Link 5100> mem 0xf4300000-0xf4301fff irq 17 at device 0.0 on pci3 iwn0: attempting to allocate 1 MSI vectors (1 supported) iwn0: using IRQ 257 for MSI iwn0: MIMO 1T2R, MoW, address 00:1e:65:25:5d:3a iwn0: 11a rates: 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps iwn0: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps iwn0: 11g rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps iwn0: 1T2R iwn0: 11na MCS 20MHz iwn0: MCS 0-7: 6.5Mbps - 65Mbps iwn0: 11na MCS 20MHz SGI iwn0: MCS 0-7: 7Mbps - 72Mbps iwn0: 11na MCS 40MHz: iwn0: MCS 0-7: 13.5Mbps - 135Mbps iwn0: 11na MCS 40MHz SGI: iwn0: MCS 0-7: 15Mbps - 150Mbps iwn0: 11ng MCS 20MHz iwn0: MCS 0-7: 6.5Mbps - 65Mbps iwn0: 11ng MCS 20MHz SGI iwn0: MCS 0-7: 7Mbps - 72Mbps iwn0: 11ng MCS 40MHz: iwn0: MCS 0-7: 13.5Mbps - 135Mbps iwn0: 11ng MCS 40MHz SGI: iwn0: MCS 0-7: 15Mbps - 150Mbps Fabian
