you can change the tx/rx chainmask for 3x3 AR9380 to disable
transmission on the third antenna
cd /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/ath9k# echo 0x3 > tx_chainmask
cd /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/ath9k# echo 0x3 > rx_chainmask
after this, ideally it should operate as 2x2 device as per Susinders
comments. but if you got AR9280 please try to use that if 2 antenna is
the constraint.
