Adrian,

Do you know anything about the Atheros F1 PHYs?  We're seeing something
weird with some hardware using them, not sure if Ubiquiti have any
proprietary changes actually-required to support the PHYs properly, or if
there's maybe some deficiency in our PHY driver that you might know about.

Thanks,
Juli.
