The chainmasks are limit set of antennas used for RX and TX, both settings can be
changed in debugfs 'ieee80211/phyX/ath9k'. The distance limit is all Aheros cards
property due to maximum setting for the ACK timeout. It can be set with
'iw phy <phyname> distance <distance>' command. Of course, you need a high gain antenna
to achieve long range communication.
