Description

Hi all,

Attached is a patch that is slightly smarter about the tx antenna selected for multicast frames. Currently multicast frames are sent on alternating antennas, however in the case that there is only a single antenna connected this is not the best option.

This patch will select antenna based on the proportion of unicast frames that have been successfully transmitted on each antenna.

I've opened a ticket instead of committing directly to get comments, etc, from people first.

Cheers,

Fix initial case so that it will begin by alternating antenna until it finds a good one
