I've heard this discussion outside of relation to FreeBSD, so I know it's a well-discussed issue. I also think I remember reading something about certain chipsets supporting 11n in ADHOC mode, but only when connecting to other chipsets. I think it was MAYBE an atheros chipset, but I don't really remember -exactly- what I read, or where it was... Here is a linux ath9k forum post regarding it: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.ath9k.devel/2660 Seems to indicate that 11n in ADHOC isn't supported there either.. Sooo.... -- Chuck Burns
