It supports the bcm4329 device which comes with a 11n phy, which can connect to a non-11n AP without problems. > * Does this driver interfaces the mac80211 operations or "acts as" a > mac80211 driver itself talking to cfg80211/nl80211?

All powersaving the device does is done on the device as it knows best what parts of the device can be put to sleep. Who or what is going to fire those triggers? > Thanks for your answer, > Andrés Hope that helps. Gr.
