(Yes, this is a public response.) Hi, That has me a bit concerned. Waiting for the STA to be associated is really just some kind of "settling" delay. You're still TX/RXing at that point. I think we need to speak to the baseband/clock teams and figure out why this is actually occuring. Can we pl

Hi, AR5416/AR5418, AR9130, AR9160 - 3 antenna, 3 chain, two stream devices. They're 2T2R stream, so only up to MCS15. You need to use AR93xx or later NICs with 3 antenna, 3 stream support. (Not all of them are 3 stream devices however.) Ben has experience with three stream devices. He's a good s
