I doubt that you will get any "N" cards running on it unless you compile your own drivers. -- MailScanner is like deodorant... You hope everybody uses it, and you notice quickly if they don't!!!!

Not very many cards do a, atheros chipset I believe is one of the few that does that is commonly available. I don't know which implementations do a and which don't, you might be able to find out on the madwifi website. It is external to the kernel so you'll have to compile it yourself.
