The first incident I described was using driver 5.53. Not sure about
the second. Don't get me wrong, the person I described would definitely
connect at 49,333. The PM3 would show that. But sometimes it would
drop to 28.8 several minutes later, with no indications of a change. If
you hadn't looked at it earlier, you'd have never believed it
dropped; you'd just think it was always at 28.8.
