Intel 4965AGN and 802.11n

Hello all,

I've been trying for the last few days to get .11n support working on my
Thinkpad with the 4965 card to no avail, i have downloaded, compiled and
ran the kernel from wireless experimental git repo, and although i
enabled it in the configuration, when loaded, (modprobe iwl4965
qos_enable=1) dmesg reports "Tunable channels" to 802.11bg and 802.11a,
but no n. is there something special i must do? Is there a guide or
anything anywhere to get 11n support working at all? I'm using ubuntu
7.10 and have tried the compat-wireless package to no avail.

Any help would be most appreciated!

Get an 11n access point and just use it? There's absolutely nothing you
have to do, the thought that tunable channels are b/g and a only and
thus n is missing is rather odd if you know what the n spec actually
is...

Please keep in mind I only enabled CONFIG_IWL4965_HT on
compat-wireless by default on Friday so if you downloaded
compat-wireless before that then it wasn't enabled unless you did so
manually by editing config.mk. Just wanted to point that out.
