HT40 not working for Intel 5100 AGN ?
Kernel: git tag v3.2
After modprobe:
Detected Intel(R) WiFi Link 5100 AGN, REV=0x54
If have an AP with openwrt configured to work with 802.11g+n, HT40+. A different Laptop with Windows installed connects with 150Mb/s
The maximum bitrate for the aforementioned Intel card however is displayed by iwconfig to be 54 Mb/s which seems to be confirmed by the actual transfer rates.
The connection is being established by wpa_supplicant 0.7.3.
I tried researching this problem but did not really find it documented. Is this a known issue or can I provide further information for debugging?
Many thanks,
John
PS: please include me in the reply.
This was not a bug.
I had to search for ages however to find out about the fact that HT40 only works with WPA2 and not with WPA. ;-)
