Right. Well, you've got a starting point. Maybe go through the driver
looking for things to do with RX gain, RX calibration, etc.
Then look at the linux driver and see if there are any obvious differences.

I know, I'm asking you to do code debugging, but I'm just not able to
help you out at the moment I'm sorry!
