Subject: Issue with iwlwifi in Wi-Fi N mode on ThinkPad x201 (Debian Testing)

Hello,

I have an issue with iwlwifi driver.

I installed iwlwifi-6000-ucode-9.193.4.1 on my ThinkPad x201 (Intel®
Centrino® Advanced-N 6200) running Debian Testing (Jessie)
It works fine in b/g mode but not in N mode.

Is there something I need to do to make it work in N mode ? Or is it a
driver issue with N mode ?

Thanks for the help.

What version of the kernel do you have?

What do you mean by N mode?
Just the "n" being printed somewhere?
Are you sniffing the packets the device is sending and you see you don't have 11n specific data?
Are you seeing low throughput?
