Title:
  10ec:8176 10-20% packet loss on 802.11n 2.4GHz network

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  With a Asus PCE-N10 PCI-E Adapter Wireless N I have 10-20% packet loss
  on a 802.11n 2.4GHz network, 2-3200ms latency pinging just the gateway
  192.168.1.1, with no network load on either the router or the WiFi
  chipset. The computer is ~4 feet away from a Verizon Jetpack MiFi
  5510L connected to a power source, with no obstructions between them.
  Other clients (Ubuntu with different chipset, Windows) don't have this
  problem.

  With the router on battery only, Vivid live environment and mainline
  4.0, situation has improved, but still get bursts of 2 packets with
  300-450ms every 50-100 packets, with ~1% packet loss.
