A." To: ipw3945-devel@lists.sourceforge.net, linux-wireless Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Sender: linux-wireless-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: Hi all, I would be very grateful if people can advise on the features present in Intels 3x3 MIMO (450Mbps) chipsets, namely (Ultimate N WiFi Link 5300 and 6300 NICs) and the features that are currently supported by the iwlwifi/iwlang Linux driver. e.g. the output of "iw list" command of the cards would be very helpful. For example does it support: 1) Configuring as an AP (via hostapd or otherwise). 2) STBC, 3) Greenfield, 4) Short gaurd interval, 4) Low-density parity check (LDPC) encoding, 5) Maximum likelihood demodulation (MLD) and MRC, 6) Transmit beamforming (TxBF), 7) Ability to control antenna- power/chain mask etc, 8) Support for HT IBSS/ad hoc speeds (Alexander's patch). 9) Per-Packet. Information (PPI) capturing Also to those who have tested these intel NICs, can you please provide a purchase recommendation as I intend to use it to run parameter specific tests (one at a time) via install these on around 5 laptops and similar platforms. Thank you all very much
