Hello.  I am respectfully making some noise that developers update
some things for better 802.11n support in OpenWRT.  both the b43 and
ath9k driver are working in 802.11n modes but some other pieces of
OpenWRT are  bit behind.

1) iw update has a patch: https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/4373 - but
perhaps the libnl portion is more tricky and needs to be rebased?

2) hostapd 0.6.7 is now out, it has improvements for 802.11n support

3) hostapd on OpenWRT is not current compiled with CONFIG_IEEE80211N
support.  I posted on the hostapd-devel mailing list asking if they
had any advice as to building this default on all platforms and they
said there should be no expected problems.  It will increase binary
size a little.

Here is a patch to reference for hostapd 0.6.7:
http://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?pid=79183#p79183

Although I do not think this particular ht_capab value should be
default for all builds - this is something to perhaps discuss?

Thank you for your time and attention.
