Hi,

Every (experienced) user of the N9 knows about wifi N connectivity issues. However unless you have a 100 Mbits internet connection (cable, optic fiber, etc.) or use big files transfer between your N9 and another device on your network, the 54Mbits allowed by the wifi G are OK according to me for everyday use.

I would be OK to get only wifi G connectivity for more reliability in the connection with public wifi N hotspot for example. At home i have to set my router (Freebox server V6) in G mode juste for the N9 to the detriment of my others devices (N8, PCs, Android smartphone & tablet) which work all flawlessly with wifi N. So even at home i would be happy to activate wifi N mode on the router.

the article here http://adeadhamster.blogspot.fr/2010...-problems.html gives some clues about the N9 problems with Wifi N. The driver seems to be the cause of our problems.

So I've 2 related questions :
- Which version of the driver does the N9 use ? iwl4965 or iwl5000 ?
- Can we deactivate on boot, by a script or a command, the wifi N mode as described in this article (modprobe iwlagn 11n_disable=1) ? This will force the N9 to work in G mode and what we would "lost" in therorical speed, would be gained in reliability even in public hotspot. If yes what is this magical command ?
