This could be a complete red herring, but on the off chance that it's useful info:

I'm seeing this issue on an Ultimate-N 6300 in a two-antenna laptop (with only antenna terminals 1 and 2 connected). This configuration works fine under Windows, but causes high packet loss under Linux Mint 12. Could the issue possibly be caused by only using two antennas on a 3-antenna card? It's tempting to speculate that maybe the Windows drivers correctly detect this configuration, but the Linux drivers attempt to use all three antennas.

I wonder if any commercial laptop manufacturers configure three-antenna cards with two antennas? I may try to see if I can install a third antenna in the laptop, either temporarily or permanently and report back.
