This may be a silly question, but is it possible to build and use iwn/iwnfw from head sources and use on a -stable machine? Ideally I don't want to move the whole machine from -stable to -current, I just want to test iwn/iwnfw in -current. This likely isn't possible due to kernel mismatch but thought I'd ask the people that know more than me. End game is I'd like tinker around using it at least in hostap mode. I realize 11n is still very much in development and I'm ok with that. Even using it as 11g in hostap mode would be a plus until 11n catches up. As of now, hostap isn't supported on my card in -stable, at least that's what dmesg tells me when I try. I'd love to help test this if it was possible to use -current for just those modules and -stable for the rest of the machine. Any input would be appreciated. Regards, Patrick
