Another update, since I continue to be interested in this one even
though it's fixed for me :)

Ubuntu 12.10 and 13.04 users received a kernel update last night that
includes the other patch. That means also users of Ubuntu 12.04.2 and
12.04.3 LTS:s (to be released on Thursday), which use the kernel from
12.10/13.04 respectively, or people with original 12.04 installation who
have opted in to use the quantal/raring stacks.

I think I briefly used a similar setup when 3.10 kernel was still in
Ubuntu 13.10 and it also used to have only this "Assign default xlna
config for AR9485". If I recall correctly it improved some things but
the connection still broke up constantly in non-optimal reception?

So I believe the second patch, which I've provided a patch for, would be
still required.
