WiFi Link 5300 - Driver v13.1.1.1: "Throughput Enhancement" gone?

Installed Windows 7 x64 last week (fresh install; wiped hard drive first then installed Windows). Ran Windows update to download all software and hardware driver updates.

After that, my WiFi Link 5300's driver was v13.0.0.107. With that driver, I had an option for "Throughput Enhancement". Updated to driver v13.1.1.1 yesterday and that option is gone.

I only noticed it was gone after going into the device manager to check all settings for the 5300 since my network connection felt like it had slowed down a bit after installing 13.1.1.1.

Is there any way to get this option back w/ driver v13.1.1.1?

I hope intel brings this feature back, it worked for me!!!

Why not just go back to the previous drivers?
