I am working on a network scenario which would benefit greatly from the = MIMO features and higher bandwidth of 802.11n. It's my understanding = that 11n is not fully supported in FreeBSD since there is no appropriate = rate control algorithm in the tree. Is that still the case? I would _really_ like to run FreeBSD for this project, and I believe the = Atheros wireless cards I plan to use are supported by ath(4). I'd like = to find out what else needs to happen to complete the picture. I may = even go so far as to write some code myself. :) Is anyone working on this at the moment? Is it just the rate control that needs to be done or are there other = parts involved? Is MIMO separate? Is there a detailed description of the missing pieces somewhere? Or a = not-very-detailed summary of where to look and what to read to get = started? Thanks, JN
