You are twisting my answer please read it again.
Frankly  I will try to fix it in FW but if not I rather fail on 2
platforms  then making 11n useless on 4 others.
Maybe we should ask some company to fix ther CPU to support unaligned
access. Or ask the guys that 'saved' two bytes in QoS field to change
the spec. Same goes for designers of 4965 that never dreamed someone
will stick it to SPARC machine. And I can bet the same goes for other
wireless HW companies.

Cheers, please don't replay to me  I''m really going to try fix it :)
