commit 6df35206bc6c1c6aad1d8077df5786b4a7f77873 Author: Felix Fietkau Date: Fri May 23 19:58:14 2014 +0200 mac80211: reduce packet loss notifications under load During strong signal fluctuations under high throughput, few consecutive failed A-MPDU transmissions can easily trigger packet loss notification, and thus (in AP mode) client disconnection. Reduce the number of false positives by checking the A-MPDU status flag and treating a failed A-MPDU as a single packet.

In some cases, this leads to flushed rx buffers being passed to the hardware while rx is already stopped.
