802.11n

i configured slitaz as access point (hostapd).

my wificard support 802.11n.

when i commented out "ieee80211n=1" in the default hostapd.conf then i get the error message:

unknown configuration item 'ieee80211n'

why?

(module ath9k_htc is loaded)

Re: 802.11n

It seems the 802.11n feature is not made available in package.

the source package defconfig shows:

# IEEE 802.11n (High Throughput) support

#CONFIG_IEEE80211N=y

The fix is to add (or uncomment) "CONFIG_IEEE80211N=y" to the .config file and recompile the source.

Re: 802.11n

thank you for answering my question.

now it is clear where the problem is.

but recompiling the source is beyond my skills.

can someone recompile the source for me? ideally i'm happy about a installable pkg.

Re: 802.11n

I still fear having to recompile something important but someone showed me how to compile one package and it's actually nothing to be fearful of...

Just find a good how-to, and follow the instructions - you shouldn't break anything else than the package that you're compiling, so in this cas you just delete it and recompile.

Obviously, if you understand the instructions that you follow, it's much better even!
