Hi
Got 11n up and running in hostap mode on 9-stable with -head ath/net80211
stacks. Unfortunately I only have one 802.11n adapter to play with.
The only 11n client I could find was my Samsung Galaxy S2 and it works very
well.
The only problem that I got so far is that 11n only works if I don't set the
country or regdomain.

If I change the country to ZA then it defaults to 11a

If I change it back to country US then it also defaults to 11a, but the
regdomain also changes to FCC
