I understand that... But interference over all range... It will be very
sad :(

Yep, it is available (9-BETA2 now, iperf is running for about half a
hour, second antenna is not attached, as I didn't plan to use 5Ghz):
4936697 data frames received
9101605 data frames transmit
99995 tx frames with an alternate rate
1393550 long on-chip tx retries
12917 tx failed 'cuz too many retries
54M current transmit rate
19218 tx stopped 'cuz no xmit buffer
5 tx failed 'cuz dma buffer allocation failed
387 tx frames with no ack marked
9085818 tx frames with short preamble
29941 rx failed 'cuz of bad CRC
56 rx failed 'cuz of PHY err
