To summarize, the following code on base.c is the problem...

1955                 /*
1956                  * Switch antenna every 4 beacons if txantenna is not set
1957                  * XXX assumes two antennas
1958                  */
1959                 if (antenna == 0)
1960                         antenna = sc->bsent & 4 ? 2 : 1;

...we should always set 0 on tx descriptor for the default scenario to
work. Can you please comment this out and see if it works ?
