TL-WA901ND only connects to HostAPD (AR5008) in 11g mode.

[David Howes]

Hi,

I've narrowed down my issues.
A broadcom laptop can connect to the HostAPD server (AR5008) at 130Mb/sec.

The TL-WA901ND bridge only conects at 54Mbit.

The logs show the following:
mgmt::auth

nl80211: Set beacon (beacon_set=1)
wlan0: STA 00:23:cd:19:fb:b4 IEEE 802.11: association OK (aid 1)

To me the core lines are:
unknown vendor specific information element ignored (vendor OUI 00:03:7f
len=9)
unknown vendor specific information element ignored (vendor OUI 00:03:7f
len=10)
update_sta_no_ht STA 00:23:cd:19:fb:b4 - no HT, num of non-HT stations 1
hostapd_ht_operation_update current operation mode=0x0
hostapd_ht_operation_update new operation mode=0x13 changes=2

Which if I'm reading it right shows two unknown information packets from the
TL-WA901ND and then then HostAPD saying it can't use HT (n?) with the
client.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
