If you have an iwlwifi AX2xx or BExxx and you have successfully tested
HW_CYRPTO (see the other email thread here on wireless) then you have a
chance to test a first cut of HT20/40 and VHT20/40/80 (no 160 yet)
support by adding the following two tunables next to your hw_crypto one
in loader.conf:
compat.linuxkpi.iwlwifi_11n_disable=0
compat.linuxkpi.iwlwifi_disable_11ac=0
Well this was encouraging. :) I'm easily gettig 20MB/s transfer rates now,
which is a helluva lot better than the 2.5 it maxed out at before:

Glad to hear.
Attached a dmesg (ac_n.log) which contains a number of 'service netif
restart' and such. Order of events are roughly:
- boot with ifconfig_wlan0="mode 11a WPA DHCP"
(Worked fine but speed increase was not quite what I expected, until I
remembered the '11a' part)
- attempt to service netif restart after removing the '11a' part
- this caused loads of failures, and I could not get the link up after that
That is interesting.
iwlwifi0: Queue 4 is stuck 11131 11144
and an RX no data descriptor error.
is what you got after the restart and it seemed the HW didn't get out of
that state depsite the netif restart. Thanks for the description as
that may help me to reproduce and poke at the system.
