Both are stable in our testing (virtual stations, AP mode), but we're having
a hard time sourcing AR9380 3x3 NICs..getting ship-times in August, etc....

I don't have details on the other things you ask about.

I'd suggest getting a few NICs and trying them out in your environment.
Even if they have problems, there are folks actively working on it and
likely it can be fixed.  And at least for our use with virtual stations & APs,
there is no other NIC that comes close to the features that Atheros offers.

Thanks,
Ben
