However, I tried 11n at home after work, and that didn't work. Neither did 11a or 11g. Worse, when I tried connecting to my phone's access point using 11g, that didn't work either. Nor did rebooting help. I *was* able to make wifi work using a MX Linux LiveUSB, so I don't think it's the hardware (and I really don't want to go back to Linux). > 11n mode should work with your device.

Thanks for giving it a shot anyway and helping me make this old laptop a little more useful. Aside from the wifi it still works fine with OpenBSD. > If you could test kernels of older releases and check whether 11n mode > was working at some point, that would help me. Would pulling the bsd.rd for 6.4 and temporarily reverting to that release help? Naturally I'll take a full backup first, but I think that might be safer than simply downloading the bsd.mp for 6.4 while leaving the userland at -current. Otherwise, since I'm doing a full backup anyway, I could just wipe and do a clean install of 6.4. Thanks again for your assistance. -- Matthew Graybosch
