This might be a case of a network using 40MHz wide channel. I have personally experienced the same. it's faster for 802.11n, but it drops legacy support for 802.11b/g, which uses 20MHz wide channels. Unfortunately, we do not yet have 802.11n support. I may work on it eventually. Are you

I had a similar experience with the wireless network provided by a motel in the U.S. I tried a number of different systems and interfaces: rtw(4) in Lemote YeeLoong, run(4) on Lemote YeeLoong and IBM Thinkcentre, ath(4) on IBM ThinkPad A31p. All were running NetBSD 7.0_STABLE, except the Lemote
