Ignore it for 802.11n chipsets. Unless you're using AR9285 - then
doubly ignore it for now, because it doesn't quite do what's
advertised.

On all the 11n chipsets besides AR9285, all antennas are used for TX/RX.

AR9285 has two antennas but only one is used for TX; there's some
configuration possible but it doesn't implement the below "way". I
need to try and tidy that up too before 9.0-RELEASE.

(AR9281 is an AR9280 with only one TX side too; but I haven't made the
AR9281 work yet, so it's very unlikely you have one. :)
