Comment 6 for bug 1061924

As a quick&dirty solution, I've added the antenna settings in /etc/rc.local:

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
#!/bin/sh -e
#
# rc.local
#

sudo ifconfig wlan0 down
iw phy0 set antenna 1 1
sudo ifconfig wlan0 up

exit 0
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Note "wlan0" belongs to my configuration, and it may differ in other installations.
That works for now, until a proper solution is delivered (I'm on Ubuntu 12.10)
