Hi,
Does anyone managed to get an ASrock Ion330HT connected to an N wifi Access point?
The hardware supports the N standard, but when I connect to my AP it only connects on G when I switch my AP to N only it does not connect.

My guess is that it's the driver, but I can't get hold on which card is in this machine.
Anyone who can tell me if I need to update the Wifi driver and if so which one?
And how to force it on to the N standard

This is what my dmesg regarding to WLAN says :

Any help or pointing me in the right direction would be great !

I have my Zotac ION 330 configured as an access point and can connect to it from my win7 laptop at N speeds I get the full 300Mbps.

I did this as a side project as I dont have a wifi access point.

if your using Ath9k as the driver i would recommend installing the backports for your kernel as their are lots of wifi fixes in their and it got me going after pulling my hear out for a couple of weeks.

Add the repo's
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty-backports main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty-backports main restricted universe multiverse

#install the backports.
sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-`uname -r`

Best of luck.
