Main documentation on ath9k+802.11n

Hi linux-wireless list,
hi hostap list!

I am trying to get a 802.11n-network as test running. I want to test the highest throughput, that I can do with this setup to see, what could be possible for me.

My setup is a Senao EMP-7605 card and ath9k with a 2.6.32.8-kernel. Thanks to Jouni Malinen, I am now using the latest snapshot of hostapd-0.6.10. If I start hostapd, my Lenovo Thinkpad(I think, there is an Intel card running inside there) can find the network, that I established with ath9k, but another Senao EMP-7905 with the same setup as mentioned above won't find the wireless network at all, even during a scan. If I do an iperf between the Lenovo and the board, that runs the AP with hostapd, I get throughput rates of about 6 Mbit/s. iwconfig on the Lenovo shows the bitrate set to "0" - meaning auto.

I cannot find valuable documentation about setting up a wireless-link with ath9k using 802.11n-capabilities. Is there any hint, that someone could give me or a webpage that I could be pointed to? I just want to do some speed-tests, but even the "ht_kapab"-field of hostapd leaves me without any knowledge, what to put in there...

Any help would be appreciated!

Very kind regards,
Dennis Borgmann

Documentation is not supposed to be device specific, so for hostapd with 802.11n we currently have:
