Experience with Atheros AR8035 which has a very similar issue would
suggest that before resorting to the blunt hammer of disabling
SmartEEE, one should definitely experiment with the 1G Tw settings.

Using 24us for 1G speeds on AR8035 helps a great deal, whereas the PHY
defaults to 17us for 1G and 23us for 100M.
