ath 802.11n support on FreeBSD 9.1?

[Tom Lazar]

hi,

i'm running a homeserver with 9.1-PRERELEASE and would like it to replace an existing Apple Airport Extreme access point.

to this end i've added a mini-PCIe card with AR9280 chipset, which is capable of 300Mbps.

can i enable 802.11n support without switching to FreeBSD-HEAD? i'm a bit reluctant to follow a branch that could break at any given moment, or am i too paranoid here? on the one hand, the handbook[1] clearly states that it's not meant for production but OTOH judging by the posts on this list, it's not uncommon for folks to run it.

any advice on how i should proceed? thanks!

tom
