We had serious issues with firmware version 4.174.64.19 in OpenWrt and
switched back to the old on as the default option. This issue afftected
mostly LP-PHY devices.

See the Bug report: https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/6907 This was with
kernel 2.6.32 and compat-wireless from  round about March to May 2010.
Stable means the old firmware version and experimental the new one in
the bug report.
