Bummer...

Is there a handy list of which devices are MWFF functional on ath9k and ath10k?

Actually, have a 300/30mbit cable connection, so I've done a lot of experimenting to see how much of that it can handle. The limit seems to be about 120-140 (set) with measured speed being 100-125mbit, with Cake running, before my C7 starts hitting 0% idle.  Now, only ingress is that fast, with the egress much slower, not sure if it would he  worse case with both about as fast.  No SQM, or SQM on the 30mbit egress only, and it's good to >340mbit.
