>Description:
I'd like that hostapd provided with 802.11n support regardless of driver situation.

mwl Marvell 88W8363 IEEE 802.11n wireless network driver is said to have the capability of 802.11n, but hostapd is not compiled with 802.11n support.
I have a Marvell 88W8363 mini PCI card. I understand that 802.11n is not widely supported, but mwl driver claims it does as of FreeBSD 8.0.

 Hi,
 
 I haven't tried mwl yet, but you should just be able to configure the
 interface as an 802.11n one:
 
 ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev mwl0 wlanmode hostap
 ifconfig wlan0 channel 6:ht/40
 ifconfig wlan0 up
 
 .. then start hostapd. Hostapd doesn't require any 802.11n "stuff" to
 be configured - just make sure you only enable CCMP encryption.
 802.11n doesn't work with TKIP.
 
 Please make sure you update to FreeBSD-8 STABLE as the -RELEASE code
 has significant issues with 802.11n.
 
 
 Adrian
