Hi folks!
The modification I present here comes from this thread.
So far tested on: miniCM RC1, CM7 RC4
To work!
1. We go to /system/etc/firmaware directory and find files named:
2. Are they there? Good, don't touch them. Are they not there? Well, it's a pity, you won't get 5GHz band
3. Go back to /system/etc and find a file named tiwlan.ini
NOTE: In CM7 based ROMs the path may be /system/etc/wifi
4. Look for the following lines:
and change them into:
5. This stage is for people who have files from step 1!
Look for the line:
and change it into
6. Save, reboot.
Troubleshooting: If after enabling your wifi keeps disconnecting, or you get the "connecting" bug, go to settings->networks->wifi, erase all remembered networks and reboot.
Disclamer: if you crush your wifi or brick your phone, I'm not responsible for it.
5GHz band and AdHoc features need testing to prove they work, N standard 100% working.
Also, I've been told that each ROM has different tiwlan file - if it's so, then we need custom zip for each ROM available. I'm not familiar with how it's done, so if someone could prepare them I'll attach them to the first post
Enjoy, X8 users!

4. Look for the following lines:

BurstModeEnable = 0 # 0 - Disabled 1 - Enabled
WiFiAdhoc = 0
Code:
HT_Enable=1 #0=diable 802.11n support / 1=Enable
BurstModeEnable = 1 # 0 - Disabled 1 - Enabled
WiFiAdhoc = 1
Look for the line:

Single_Dual_Band_Solution = 1
