Perhaps it's hardware version related? Here's the info for my system: kernel: 2.6.28-gentoo compat-wireless-2.6: cedd75beb269e2b559a5174ee628ebd01f63a4040 wireless-testing: fd1dae5fbc7a260b0ddfab7d4939a766a82ef3f3 hostapd: 2c04820d80b5c489576cb735c3be8f026a035a5b I have 80211n enabled for my device with this config: ht_capab=[HT40-][SHORT-GI-40][DSSS_CCK-40] my device: Network controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5416 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless PCI Adapter (rev 01) phy0: Atheros AR5416 MAC/BB Rev:2 AR2133 RF Rev:81: mem=0xffffc20000060000, irq=17 Currently I'm using my ps3, axim, laptop, and a netbook at the same time, and have no disconnects. Any additional testing I could do that might help you out, or more information I could provide you? Pat Erley
