So if n (or n-draft) support really is in the 4965 driver already - how
do I access it?  It doesn't seem to be happening automatically -
filetransfers/iptraf let me know that much.  Very confused about what's
going on here and if I need any iwconfig magic or something like
replacing pfifo with multiq for device qdisc.  I haven't a clue.

Ah, true, but I guess I was also wondering about n draft support since
these devices are available now and have been for quite a while.  I can
get 100 mbit/s or so with my 4965 card in windows with intel's drivers
and my asus wl500w router.  But only a lousy 54 or so in linux.  That
just ain't right.
