That reminds me - I have an "antenna diversity" patch dated "April 9 2009" on my desktop which I think I got off linux-wireless from somebody with a dual-antenna device, derived from scavenging from the vendor driver, I think, that we are supposed to do something about but I certainly haven't done anything about it. Did either/any of you look at that and/or remember having done anything about that patch?
