Not true. I have the same problem with vanilla 2.6.36 without any of my
patches (further investigation show this is 2.6.34 -> 2.6.35
regression). Problem happens only on 5Ghz, that confused me 
because NetworkManager in some cases connects to 5Ghz, in others to
2.4Ghz on my system.

Since my patches do not screw up (at least not that thing :) I'm going
to repost them, also further bisect this "low ack count detected" issue.
