Thank you for your reply; I have sent you my dmesg.boot while booting verbosely via email.
Thanks.
Please let me know if I'm doing anything stupid! :)
No you do (did) not. For the records and the mail archive: we exchanged follow-up emails. It turned out that for firmware, the wifi-firmware-iwlwifi-kmod package was installed (no flavour). I need to update the pkg description there but given that also contains firmware for chipsets not supporting various bits, it does not ship with the laoder.conf tunables and so crypto offload and 11HT/AC were never enabled. Deleting the firmware package and running fwget to install the properly flavoured one (incl the /boot/loader.conf.d/ file) and then rebooting fixed at least the "stuck on 11g" issue and Nick reported some 90-ish Mbit/s initially in his setup. He'll see about stability now. /bz -- Bjoern A. Zeeb r15:7
