## Limitations

    - 802.11n supported rates: MCS0/1/2/3
    - Wi-Fi Cert 11n test cannot pass due to a limitation on MCS rate

## Known issues

    - In a noisy environment that causes frequent beacon misses, enabling or disabling DTIM power save may occasionally lead to system hangs. A fix is being developed and will be included in the next release.
