Hi Jackal,

for now our efforts are on 802.11n MAC layer. Our goal is
implementations of three features:

A-MSDU aggregation (under review)
A-MPDU
Block ack: basic and compressed variants.

About PHY layer, as you know 802.11n adopts a MIMO technology and its
implementation is very complex. Unfortunately for now the only rates
that you can use are 802.11a rates. However MIMO implementation is
scheduled for the future.

Regards,

Mirko
