hiya, The 11ac support has been slowly leaking into -HEAD as I write it. I'm only testing STA mode right now and trying to make sure it doesn't introduce any regressions. If you can run -HEAD and keep up to date then please do that and let me know if wifi goes weird for you. Again, it should be a very large no-op right now. I have a few things to wrap up right now (VHT basic MCS sets, figuring out why it's trying to add VHT IEs on 2GHz, etc) before I land this in -HEAD. It's also reminded me that there are some very large holes in the 11n support (channel width change/notification, correct driver handling of that, operating mode changes, MIMO powersave change/notification, etc) so I'll likely take a detour through that after all of this and at least get callbacks into the driver layer so full offload chips can do their thing. Also - it's only STA support for now, not hostap, IBSS, mesh, WDS, and anything else. Oh, and monitor mode does already work, which is making debugging a lot easier. Thanks! -adrian
