Huh, I'll have to test this. At the moment my router uses openwrt which likewise uses b43 thus lacks 802.11n support; but ddwrt does support 802.11n so maybe I'll go back to ddwrt now that I have a laptop that should be able to do 802.11n with the built-in kernel support. -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ desktop mailing list -- desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to desktop-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
