then 11n *SHOULD* be possible. Perhaps 11n is disabled with a module
parameter by your distribution?
The output of:
dmesg | grep iwl
might provide some insight(I see: "iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0 wlan0: disabling
HT/VHT due to WEP/TKIP use" on my system connecting to a WPA1 AP.
The output of:
egrep -rsn 11n /etc/mod*
might help determine if the 11n_disable kernel parameter is set by your
distribution.
