+ Intel 802.11n NIC (iwn(4)) Work

+
+
+ There has been a large amount of work on iwn(4) over
+ the last six months:
+
+
+ - New hardware support, 2xxx, 6xxx, 1xx series hardware.
+
+ - Many bugs fixed, including scanning, association, EAPOL related
+ fixes.
+
+ - iwn(4) now natively works with 802.11n rates from the
+ net80211 rate control code, rather than mapping non-11n rates to 11n
+ rates.
+
+
+
+
+ There are still some scan hangs, due to how net80211 scans a
+ single channel at a time. This needs to be resolved.
+
+ The transmit, receive, scan and calibration code need to be
+ refactored out of if_iwn.c and into separate source
+ files.
+
+ There still seem to be some issues surrounding 2 GHz
+ vs. 5 GHz association attempts leading to firmware
+ assertions, especially on the Intel 4965 NIC.
