AR9003's PAPRD was enabled prematurely, and is causing some large discrepancies on throughput and network connectivity. For example downlink (RX) throughput against an AR9280 AP can vary widlely from 43-73 Mbit/s while disabling this gets AR9382 (2x2) up to around 93 Mbit/s in a 2.4 GHz HT20 setup.
