That antenna is your problem.

I will send that patch to the Kernel 3.8, but as I think it is maybe too
late for 3.8 it will eventually go to the 3.9 which is out sometime near
beginning of next summer.

If you wish I add your name as reporter then reply. Otherwise case
closed. Feedback from the better antenna could be nice too.
