Haha, the AP is broken. Its does not use single TX seq (as required by 802.11-1999 R2003, same as 802.11e for non-Qos data and bcast mgt) for data and mgt packets. Your AP seems to use one TX seq for beacon (99% of mgt packets) and another TX seq for data. That also explains why using lower rate will have better result: number of retries is reduced and duplication detection is performed only on retried packets.

Please test following patch and see whether it makes the situation
better in 11g mode:

Testing now, will let you know of success or failure within the next day or two. If this worked out to be the fix, I shall call you Sir Genius from now on :D

Thanks!!!
