Hi! Did you test this in 11abg mode? Or just 11n?
I've got a 3x3 AR9160 card which I'm considering disabling radio chains on to compare performance. This seems like it's a useful thing. Whilst talking about antennas, do you/anyone know how TX/RX antenna setting/diversity works on the AR9160/AR9106 in 11abg mode(s) ? I've been investigating it with a spectrum analyser for the TX path but I'm curious about the specifics on how both TX/RX radios and antennas works in the non-n modes.
