You are not reading this correctly.

I can't find any documentation on setting 'n' mode, nor WPA2 specifically. For WPA2 you need wpa_supplicant so read it's manual for configuration. > I'd like no broadcast of SSID, which I have working now on 'g' but don't know whether it's possible in 5GHz 'n'. And I'd like cloaked traffic and as little handshake traffic as possible, although much of this seems impossible now with as little as is known about configuration. > > I'd just be happy with 5GHz 'n' mode and WPA2. Isn't there any documentation? Please note for 2.6.27 and above aggregation is broken in iwlagn (4965) and this is what you need for good streaming. It shell be fixed in near future hopefully. Tomas
