From: Eyal Shapira <eyal@xxxxxxxxxx> MCS9 introduces some corner cases in the current rs algorithm which may lead to non optimal throughput and instability in the throughput. Until all the corner cases are resolved disable MCS9 for Tx as a workaround which yields better throughput results as MCS8 is much more stable.
