Hi, I'm trying to configure an ATH3980 as a wireless access point.
I would like it to operate in N-only mode, but for some reason I can only
make it work with GN.

Any advice as to how I can make this work would be very helpful.
Thank You

Here is the relevant section of  /etc/rc.conf

#Wireless
wlans_ath0="wlan0"
create_args_wlan0="wlanmode hostap"
hostapd_enable="YES"
ifconfig_wlan0="inet 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 ssid ishmael mode 11n"


and here is the output of "ifconfig wlan0"
