Hi.

Sorry for hijacking this thread, but now that you've clarified iwh works 
in 'n' mode, I thought I'd check my dladm output. Sure enough it reports 
MODE=n, but how reliable is the SPEED column? Is "1Mb" expected:

opensolaris:~> dladm show-wifi
LINK       STATUS            ESSID               SEC    STRENGTH   
MODE   SPEED
iwh0       connected         bumper43            wpa    excellent  
n      1Mb

Wireless router is D-link DIR-655.
System is Toshiba Tecra M10, OpenSolaris build snv_124, scanpci reports 
the wireless card as:

pci bus 0x0001 cardnum 0x00 function 0x00: vendor 0x8086 device 0x4232
