Does Fedora/Linux support the faster than 54 Mbit/sec 802.11n speeds?
My OpenWRT AP has a status page that claims that the 5 Ghz radio is
configured for a 150 Mbits/sec 40Mhz (double-wide) channel. I'm only
seeing a 54 Mbit/sec throughput over WIFI though. (Over ethernet to the
same router I'm seeing the expected 180 Mbits/sec to the internet.)
This is what lshw(1) has to say about the wifi card:

Does this ring any bells? I can easily believe that the faster speeds
are proprietary extensions but figured I'd check.
