So I See offen 10:1 and worse @165Mbit/s raw wireless rate.

      That is what I thought AS well, but it is not what I See with osx 10.8.

So the AP should be able to balance those?  (or

      So if I RRUL from wireless over cerowrt to a wired host in my network I still get the imbalance from macosx, so I assume it is a macos thing...
