Wireless,Atheros AR5008-based PCI adapter,mode 11n

[刘凯]

Hi All,

Recently I've got 802.11b/g adapter TL-WN353GD from TP-Link, based on
Atheros AR5008 chip.It's a 802.11n NIC.

I can make it work in mode 11g in stead of 11n with the FreeBSD 8.0 current.
So,I have a question that whether there is support for 802.11n in FreeBSD
8.0 current yet.
And if It support 802.11n, how can I config the parameters to make it work
in mode 11n.

Thanks,
--

 Thanks,

You can trivially turn on 802.11n RX by enabling HT capabilities in the
driver (that'll give you 11n downlink transfers w/ AMPDU even).  That's
worked ever since I brought 11n support code into the tree (18 months
ago?).  11n transmit requires an 11n-aware rate control algorithm and as
far as I know noone is working on that.
