Usable for an access point? Are all the Atheros 9xxx series chipsets supported? The only feature I see that's missing is STBC. It seems like STBC is a pretty useful feature with 802.11n MIMO and the three(!) rx capability of many of the Atheros cards. Is there a reason STBC is not implemented? Is there no value to it? Has anybody done any comparisons? -Galen
