Hello all,
the Atheros Windows drivers provide an option to enable 802.11n mode
for IBSS networks. I did not find any information in this regard for
mac80211 based drivers. So, is this supported and how would I enable
this feature? And, btw. what exactly would this mean?

It's not that difficult: use "git log" to look after a patch that added
something interesting to iw as well. The "git show" that patch. Now you'll
find out which places to patch.
Adding nl80211-stuff to the kernel involves much dumb boilerplate!

Benoit was working on this, but his last patchset missed the ability to
actually configure this when requesting an IBSS join.

Exactly :-). I need to dig into iw source code and understand a bit of
nl80211 before...
There was some problem with rate control as well that might be fixed by
minstrel_ht as well.
