I may see a slight improvement with the patch. Throughput using sftp goes from
386 KB/s to 460 KB/s when I put in the patch, but there is some jitter and that
change may not be significant.

What rate-setting method are you using? I'm using "pid", which rapidly goes to
54 Mb/s on my device. I tried using minstrel and found that it gets an
occasional burst of speed, but that it usually stays at 1 Mb/s.
