However, I still cannot get an 11n connection. The details below are still current. i.e. the mcs only goes to 7. In addition iwlist gives me iwlist wlan0 rate wlan0 unkn info.vendor = 'Atheros Communications Inc.' pci.product = 'AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express)'own bit-rate information. Current Bit Rate=54 Mb/s while iw list gives me the details below.
