Wouldn't multipath be *better* for N?

This is reflected in much higher CCQ% on the 802.11a links vs the 802.11n links. Also seems like Nstreme (not NV2) with a framer policy of 'none' and CSMA disabled is the most stable setup. Just thought some folks might find this useful. Butch has said that some of our 802.11n problems may have had to do with multipath. YMMV.
