 Hi,
 
 I haven't tried mwl yet, but you should just be able to configure the
 interface as an 802.11n one:
 
 ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev mwl0 wlanmode hostap
 ifconfig wlan0 channel 6:ht/40
 ifconfig wlan0 up
 
 .. then start hostapd. Hostapd doesn't require any 802.11n "stuff" to
 be configured - just make sure you only enable CCMP encryption.
 802.11n doesn't work with TKIP.
 
 Please make sure you update to FreeBSD-8 STABLE as the -RELEASE code
 has significant issues with 802.11n.
