For those not following tech@ or the commits closely, it might be nice
to know that 11n support is arriving, as far as I can tell complete in
iwm(4) - common in recent laptop models such as 2014 onwards thinkpads
and others such as my noname (clevo). Next up the older iwn(4), also
common in a lot of laptops out there but possibly more in the slightly
older ones such as the one mentioned in my old piece[1]
Case in point, with a simple /etc/hostname.iwm0
nwid we_see_all_your_naughty_bits wpakey alltomorrowsparties[2]
the resulting config becomes
[Wed Dec 16 22:31:42] peter@elke:~$ ifconfig iwm0
iwm0: flags=208843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST,AUTOCONF6> mtu

inet6 fe80::a2a8:cdff:fe63:abb9%iwm0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
Meaning if you have a reasonably recent laptop with something that looks
similar to what 'man iwm' tells you is supported and an 11n access point
within reach, *now* is a good time to see what the new code is good for.
Enjoy!
