2.1.x and 802.11n
-
What is the current status of 802.11n support in the 2.1.x builds?
The most recent information I can find is that there are some supported cards, but due to freebsd limitations 802.11n rates are not supported. Not sure if that is for older versions, or still holds true?
-
Full 802.11N support won't be in FreeBSD until 9.x and hence won't be in pfSense until some release after 2.1.
In the meantime, some readers have reported that some Atheros based cards that are 802.11N capable work in "802.11G mode".
-
True until 2.2, 2013.

Under Current Development
ath/ath_hal 802.11n TX aggregation/blockack support
Release 9.1 (December 2012) supports
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/9.1R/hardware.html#WLANand the current version of 2.0.2 is based on 8.1

and the current version of 2.2 is based on 8.1
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/8.1R/hardware.html#WLANI presume you meant 2.0.2 rather than 2.2

http://www.freebsd.org/releases/8.1R/hardware.html#WLANBut is 802.11n actually supported by (some) wifi drivers included in FreeBSD 9.1, or is it just 11n cards operating in "legacy" b/g mode?

By looking b/g mode only until the release of 9.1 or –-->

Maybe im jumping the gun here, but what about dual band N900 (450 x 2 ; 2.4ghz and 5ghz) will there ever be support and pfSense work as an access point with same features as the new N900 routers?
I just bought a PCI to PCI-Express and a PCI-Express N900 dual band card (Atheros chipset, same as TP-Link, it's a Rosewill) and theoretically, PCI is 133MB, so it should be able to do the 450Mb/sec…but so far we will only see 54g speeds until...?
