>Description:
I'd like that hostapd provided with 802.11n support regardless of driver situation.

mwl Marvell 88W8363 IEEE 802.11n wireless network driver is said to have the capability of 802.11n, but hostapd is not compiled with 802.11n support.
I have a Marvell 88W8363 mini PCI card. I understand that 802.11n is not widely supported, but mwl driver claims it does as of FreeBSD 8.0.
