This parameter default is 2. But it is easy to cause my station 
losing the connection with AP. After I tune it to 20. It improves 
much when using rt2x00 and Linksys WRT160N V3 AP router.

I'm not very keen on taking a driver specific change into mac80211 ...
maybe the driver shouldn't lose so many frames instead?

Well, first question is figuring out why that's occuring. It's not
being sent at some really ridiculously high rate, is it?
