Hi,

Recently, I discovered one problem in firmware, and I 
didn't have time to report it yet... It could also solve 
your issue.

Namely, in the firmware, in the file if_owl.c, in the 
function ath_tx_status_update(...), status flags are not 
being reset. And they definitely should. Thus, you can add 
something like this:

  txs->txstatus[txs->cnt].ts_flags = 0;

after the following line of code:

  txs->txstatus[txs->cnt].ts_rate = SM(bf->bf_endpt, 
ATH9K_HTC_TXSTAT_EPID);

And you need to recompile and re-install the firmware, of 
course.

Hope this can help.

Cheers,
Michal Kudelski
