Ok checked some more. The wifi card was mounted behind the PCIe slot, see the picture in the review here: http://www.vortez.net/articles_pages/asus_e35m1_i_deluxe_motherboard_review,2.html So it doesn't seem easy to get it out and check the underside. Tried with one or other antenna attached

Wait a sec! That's still a bug. Still very a bug! (And a bug with FreeBSD too!) The AR9285 has two RX and one TX radio. It _can_ have: * no antenna switch, so the RX mixing is done on the chip itself (the A+B, A-B, A, B RX antenna diversity code) - where TX only occurs on one antenna; * an
