We'll soon release a new uCode that should speed up a bit scanning on A band. > 2 - The NetGear is allegedly 11n, but shows up as standard A (or G) in > iwconfig et al. Highest data rate listed by iwlist is 54 on A, 48 on G. wext doesn't report 11n rates and probably never will, it doesn't mean there is no 11n connection. Currently I don't have some non crypto interface looking into it. > 3 - Booting Windows, the 4965 does see the NetGear as 802.11n, so I > can't blame it on the hardware... > No you cant :) > 4 - I won't guarantee it is not a configuration issue on my part... > attached is the ".config" file used to compile the kernel. > Looks good.
