There's also likely a whole bunch of driver and stack things we need. Eg, we need correct VLAN handling (which is fine, we SHOULD have it in net80211, I just don't think it's been tested in a long time.) There's also off-channel traffic support which I know we don't currently do. I have a looong list of 802.11n things to add to the ath driver and debug (correct LDPC/STBC negotiation and driver handling, rate control stuff, AP power save, STA power save, background scanning and off-channel traffic, MIMO power save negotiation and support, correct PS-POLL handling, looking at uAPSD STA/AP handling, adhoc, TDMA...) before I even begin to look at that more fun stuff.
