The Wiki mentions "the new Wifi stack", but it is not entirley clear if this a current work in project or stale - and if this project would actually bring support for 11n.

Hi,

11n does work on both the old and new wifi stacks (the latter is in
progress) with at least some drivers.  11ng (2.4 GHz) works and I
think 11na (5 GHz) does also (at least I think it does on the new
stack).  Have you tried it?  ifconfig will report the current mode.

It looks like iwm(4) does support it.
