SR71-A (AR9160) no longer detected in FreeBSD 9

Here is my ifconfig wlan0
------------------------------


wlan0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500

if you check this line it says:  media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect mode 11a <hostap>  <-- doesn't mention 11n :(


here is my hostapd.conf (very simple):


core# cat /etc/hostapd.conf                             /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf
interface=wlan0

wpa_pairwise=CCMP

.. tsk. That path isn't needed. :)
 


channel is now set, I guess next step is to start hostapd with N ?


Just configure it to use CCMP encryption only. nothing else is needed for 'n'.
