<body>
<p>There has been a large amount of work on <tt>iwn(4)</tt> over
the last six months:</p>
<ul>
<li>New hardware support, 2xxx, 6xxx, 1xx series hardware.</li>
<li>Many bugs fixed, including scanning, association, EAPOL related
fixes.</li>
<li><tt>iwn(4)</tt> now natively works with 802.11n rates from the
net80211 rate control code, rather than mapping non-11n rates to 11n
rates.</li>
</ul>
</body>
<help>
<task>There are still some scan hangs, due to how net80211 scans a
single channel at a time. This needs to be resolved.</task>
<task>The transmit, receive, scan and calibration code need to be
refactored out of <tt>if_iwn.c</tt> and into separate source
files.</task>
<task>There still seem to be some issues surrounding 2&nbsp;GHz
vs. 5&nbsp;GHz association attempts leading to firmware
assertions, especially on the Intel 4965 NIC.</task>
