Hi Adrian,
After recompiling the kernel with device ath_pci, atheros got redetected, however 802.11n seems to not be working with the following errors:
ifconfig wlan0 destroy
ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev ath0 wlanmode hostap
wlan0: Ethernet address: 00:15:6d:84:70:d5
core# ath0: unable to reset hardware; hal status 14
core# ifconfig wlan0 channel 6:ht/40

ifconfig: SIOCS80211: Invalid argument
core# ath0: stuck beacon; resetting (bmiss count 4)
I tried adding the following in /etc/rc.conf:
wlans_ath0="wlan0"
create_args_wlan0="wlanmode hostap"
ifconfig_wlan0="inet 172.25.2.1 netmask 255.255.255.224 ssid test mode 11na channel 6:ht/40 txpower 5 -ampdutx mac:allow"
ifconfig shows the following, still can't force it to do N.

If you need more information just let me know, I'd be glad to help out.

Just to make sure I got everything right:
ifconfig_wlan0="inet 172.25.2.1 netmask 255.255.255.224 ssid test mode 11na channel 64:ht/40 txpower 5 -ampdutx mac:allow"
does this look right to you?
I would like to run 802.11n only @ 5ghz frequencies...

I can not find any documentation on how to disable ampdutx, is it a command or a patch that I need to apply? I would be willing to test out.

Yes, it will support that.
Please note - 802.11n TX is not gonig to work in 9.0 - you have to disable ampdutx.

Hi Adrian,
I can't believe I forgot to include that! weird that it was working without it in 8.2!
I added back: options ATH_ENABLE_11N and device ath_pci and recompiling! :)
btw, do you know if AR9160 can support multiple SSIDs in hostap mode? Example, I would like to create one 802.11a SSID network and another 802.11n or 802.11g network...

Hi,
Try including the ath_pci device in your kernel config file.
Sorry about that! :)
