Any reason ath(4) only currently supports 11b mode? Looks like it was commented out in the driver in September with the comment "for now". Just wondering if we're going to see it back for 4.1, or what's broken with it that it was removed. --Bill

Obviously these aren't GENERIC kernels; I don't have a way to get it on these machines, so ignore away, but hopefully this is of some use. All tests were using 11b mode since 11g is disabled in the current ath(4) driver (and I started in -current) and mediaopt hostap (although I believe I tested
