hi,

i'm running a homeserver with 9.1-PRERELEASE and would like it to =
replace an existing Apple Airport Extreme access point.

to this end i've added a mini-PCIe card with AR9280 chipset, which is =
capable of 300Mbps.

can i enable 802.11n support without switching to FreeBSD-HEAD? i'm a =
bit reluctant to follow a branch that could break at any given moment, =
or am i too paranoid here? on the one hand, the handbook[1] clearly =
states that it's not meant for production but OTOH judging by the posts =
on this list, it's not uncommon for folks to run it.

any advice on how i should proceed? thanks!

tom
