Good Day,

I bought an Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965 Device to get faster WLAN in
FreeBSD. But I don't get the Device working in 11n mode. My ifconfig
output:

$ ifconfig

I already tried:

# wlandebug +11n
net.wlan.0.debug: 0x0 => 0x80000000<11n>

but it also didn't work. It would be great if you can give me advise to
get it working. Thanks for reading :D
