>Description:
When the 4965 probes (and bootverbose is set), it sees 2 transmit radios and 3 receive radios. So it assumes that the hardware is a 2T3R device. Which is actually incorrect - even though it has three receive radios, it's still a two-stream receive device.
>How-To-Repeat:
* Bootverbose!
* Probe/attach an Intel 4965
* See what's going on!
>Fix:
Until Intel 3x3 devices are supported, we should limit the TX/RX stream counts to 2.
