Could you point me to which registers/vars/keywords in (ath9k) ani
do this?  I'd like to play around with them a bit.

As for transmitting at the same time, is that even possible
using multiple ath9k NICs in a PC?  It would seem to me that you'd
need some kind of low-level communication between the hardware/firmware
on the NICs themselves to accomplish that?

Thanks,
Ben
