Hello all,
the Atheros Windows drivers provide an option to enable 802.11n mode
for IBSS networks. I did not find any information in this regard for
mac80211 based drivers. So, is this supported and how would I enable
this feature? And, btw. what exactly would this mean?

Benoit was working on this, but his last patchset missed the ability to
actually configure this when requesting an IBSS join.

Exactly :-). I need to dig into iw source code and understand a bit of
nl80211 before...
There was some problem with rate control as well that might be fixed by
minstrel_ht as well.

It's not that difficult: use "git log" to look after a patch that added
something interesting to iw as well. The "git show" that patch. Now you'll
find out which places to patch.
Adding nl80211-stuff to the kernel involves much dumb boilerplate!
