If the AP is set to HT20, this driver doesn't use IEEE 802.11n any more, or, to say it more specific: the selected bit rate is max. 64 Mb/s and the performance is even worse. I'm wondering at all, why the ath9k driver doesn't switch to 300 Mb/s: the rt3572sta-driver doesn't have any problem with both settings.
