ath9k and N wireless on B frequencies

ath9k and N wireless on B frequencies

[Jack Howarth]

   Does anyone know if the new ath9k wireless driver supports the N wireless
connections on the B wireless frequencies? The Apple Airport Extreme supports
the N protocols on both the G and B frequencies. Since Linksys is providing
little support for my WRT150N (which shows uneven performance under N wireless
to a MacBook Pro under Leopard compared to rock solid G performance), I
am considering upgrading to an Airport Extreme base station and would like to
make use of the N protocols under B wireless frequencies option in Linux.
Thanks in advance for any information.

802.11b and 802.11g both use 14 channels in the 2.4GHz band, of which
11 is available in the US (13 in the EU) - it's 802.11a which uses
5GHz channels. Did you mean "N protocols under A frequencies"?

Stefanik,
   Yes, my mistake. I meant to say does ath9k
support the use of N protocols under the 802.11a
wireless frequencies. Does anyone know if ath9k
supports this?
