Wireless N - any router distros support it?

[cyclone3d]

I have not been able to find much info on setting up ANY of the free router distros to use Wireless N.

Finding specific hardware support lists is even more difficult.

I have pfsense up and running, but it will only do G speeds on any N card.. and my N card is not supported, nore will pfsense even fully boot with the card installed no matter what mode I try to boot in.

Supposedly Vyatta supports wireless as supposedly a few other packes do.
But all I can really find is questions that never get answered about how to actually get it working.

I really don't want to get a seperate access point if I can help it.. might as well go with a crappy consumer router if I am going to go that route.

If I have to go with a seperate access point, it needs to have a Gb port on it.

Looks like ClearOS should work. Downloading it now.

Only one I have been able to find so far that specifically says it supports N and is verified by users posting that it works.

zeroshell supports atheros n cards now.

Basically any Linux based distro that uses the 2.6 kernel will work with the Atheros cards.

Went ahead and ordered an Atheros 9380 (450Mb/s version) with a PCI-e x1 adapter card.

Verified that it will work with ClearOS/Linux kernel 2.6.
