However, on Fedora (and perhaps on all Linuxes) I have not seen any util that will put the wifi card in mode G or N or A. I check iwconfig, and I did not see anything relevant to draft N. I looked at wpa_suppicant, and did not find anything there either. I think it is automatic. So, if your access point (router) is draft N, the card itself will detect draft N protocol, and connect in that mode. So, I do not believe it is a driver issue, but I could be wrong. if you have rt2860 based wifi, all you have to do is try latest stable vanilla kernel from http://www.kernel.org/. You have nothing to lose except a little bit of time. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
