Sweet, that's great news. I'm under the impression that the AR5212 series chipsets also support the BSSID filter - ie, multiple MAC addresses, one per VAP - but it could be something introduced in later revisions/MAC versions. I'll double-check when I've finished my 11n stuff. As for the old card/system - I'm working with another ath(4) AR5212 PCI NIC owner who is helping me trace down a PCI regression between 8.x and -HEAD. Hopefully fixing this will result in fixing it for you as well. (But I'd keep the AR5418 - it'll do 11n. :-) Adrian
