Someone should tell ZyXEL that's called antenna diversity, not MIMO :) I wonder if they do diversity/antenna switching externally from the ZD1211 hardware. If they use ZD1211 functionality for diversity, it may explain why the current antenna never changes: our driver doesn't support the ZD1211 diversity features (and neither does the vendor Linux driver really). One interesting test would be doing the same experiment under windows and seeing if the lights change.
