Bug description:
It has recently come to our attention that some laptops, in particular
the lenovo b470 machines, have only one antenna. Unfortunately, they
have decided to attach the auxilary antenna in the factory and not the
main antenna. Udev sounds like the right place to quirk for this.
Presently we're using an upstart job, the text of which is :
# LenovoBx70eAtherosAntenna.conf
#
# Lenovo B[45]70e systems with Atheros AR9285 wifi only have one
# antenna, but the ath9k driver defaults to using two antennas (Main
# for Tx, Aux for Rx). This job reconfigures the driver to use the
# main antenna for both Tx and Rx before networking starts.

# only required for Lenovo B470e and B570e

# configure the device to use antenna 1 (Main) for both tx and rx
