I have a workstation with 11.0-BETA2 on it and this card:

iwn0 at pci0:10:0:0:       class=0x028000 card=0x13018086 chip=0x00828086
rev=0x34 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'
    device     = 'Centrino Advanced-N 6205 [Taylor Peak]'
    class      = network

For what it's worth, mine is stable and works like a charm.
