La Intel 4965 è in pratica una "finta", o meglio, "parziale" wireless N, questo è quello che scrivono nei log degli ultimi driver per schede wireless Intel:

Known Issues

Operating in 802.11n Mode

Intel recommends using security with your wireless network. The Intel(R) Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN adapter can only achieve transfer rates greater than 54 Mbps on 802.11n connections when using AES security, or no security. You should only use no security when setting up or troubleshooting the network.
To enable AES for Personal Security, select WPA-Personal (AES-CCMP) or WPA2-Personal (AES-CCMP) in the Security Settings pulldown menu. To enable AES for Enterprise Security, select AES-CCMP in the Data Encryption pulldown menu.

Wi-Fi* Protected Setup*

Wi-Fi* Protected Setup* is supported only on the 3945ABG Network Connection, the Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN, and Wireless WiFi Link 4965AG_.

Linksys* Access Point Association Timeout

After the association flow completes, the adapter stays awake (as in CAM mode) for 10 seconds, and then acts according to the PowerIndex (PI) regkey. PI should not be change during this period. The association timeout is 10 seconds. Using the Linksys access point, association occurs every 60 seconds, resulting in deauthentication and disconnection from the Linkysys access point.

Engineering Release Notes

* WoWLAN is not supported with NETBIOS packets on Microsoft Windows Vista. This is expected to be fixed by Microsoft at SP1.
* When the driver is uninstalled, the default setting loads the Microsoft Windows Vista inbox driver.
