Some wireless base stations implement 802.11n mode in ways that
open-source drivers cannot handle properly, resulting in very unstable

driver, similar to the same option for the iwlagn driver.

Tested at the internal wireless network of www.cs.fau.de, where 802.11n
currently only works reliably with Windows clients.

Would be lovely if this could be per VIF, and settable through something
dynamic, even if just debugfs or similar....

WTF. Are such APs WFA certified? Can you provide more details as to
why there is a mode that "open-source drivers cannot handle properly".

I'd like the feature for testing purposes (use ath9k to act like
just an a/b/g NIC).  No idea about whatever the original poster
is using.

Thanks,
Ben
