Hi,
I'm using compat-wireless-2008-08-06.tar.bz2 on Ubuntu Hardy (kernel
2.6.24) for my intel 4965agn card in order to connect using 802.11n to
my router (TL-WR841N from TP-LINK).
Unfortunately, I'm only able to connect in 802.11g mode under Linux :
$ iwconfig wlan1

As you can see, no bit rate greater than 54Mbps is detected. I tried
under Windows with latest intel driver and it connects at 130Mbps.
Does the Linux driver support 802.11n? If so, do you have any
suggestion to make this work here? I will be happy to provide any
information you may require.
In dmesg output, I simply get this:
[ 95.465080] wlan1: authenticate with AP 00:1d:0f:33:7e:ec
[ 95.467416] wlan1: authenticated

Best regards,
Chris.

Definitely CONFIG_NETDEVICES_MULTIQUEUE must be enabled.
HT rates are no reported in wireless-tools.

Could it come from the fact that the kernel in Ubuntu Hardy does not
have CONFIG_NETDEVICES_MULTIQUEUE enabled ?
I got this warning when I installed compat-wireless but I don't know
if it is required to get 802.11n working.
Best regards,
Chris.

I decided to update to Ubuntu Intrepid since it uses a 2.6.26 kernel
with CONFIG_NETDEVICES_MULTIQUEUE enabled.
However, compat-wireless is no longer compiling with this kernel:
/home/chris/devel/mac80211/compat-wireless-2008-08-06/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-led.c:
In function 'iwl_led_brightness_set':
/home/chris/devel/mac80211/compat-wireless-2008-08-06/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-led.c:198:
error: 'led_type_str' undeclared (first use in this function)
/home/chris/devel/mac80211/compat-wireless-2008-08-06/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-led.c:198:
error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
/home/chris/devel/mac80211/compat-wireless-2008-08-06/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-led.c:198:
error: for each function it appears in.)
And note that without using compat-wireless, my wifi LED is back on
but I'm still connecting in 802.11g mode.
Best regards,
Chris.
