What would be a better account to email? What I'd really like to do is write up a set of testing procedures for doing things to the ath driver - in station, hostap and adhoc modes - so I can test my local 11n+refactored HAL against it. If you've got a working setup then I'd like to try and get that documented and reproducable, complete with a set of tests for each to try and ensure that as much stuff works as possible. I'd also like to make sure that the AR5416 HAL as shipped in FreeBSD behaves the same way as the AR5210,AR5211,AR5212 HALs as well. I only have an AR5213 card here; the rest of mine are 11n (AR5416, AR9160, AR9280.) I don't know if I'm going to be able to get all of this into 9.0-RELEASE but I'd like to try. The atheros 11n chipsets are everywhere now; I'd like to both support the legacy stuff and the new stuff with all the features fully working. :-) Right now I haven't any idea about what works and what doesn't. Thanks, Adrian
