Did you use 11n aggregation?

Yup, there are several issues there:
- The hw ignores RTS thresholds for AMPDUs AFAIK
- HT protection always uses CTS-to-self (hardcoded in driver in
rt2800_config_ht_opmode)

I don't think any other driver allows to configure if RTS-CTS or
CTS-to-self should be used?
You can easily enforce RTS-CTS for 11n transmissions by changing
rt2800_config_ht_opmode.

HTH,
Helmut
