I added a patch to my tree to print out some extra info,
in particular the 'axq-stopped' bit. I notice that when
I have 60 STA interfaces sometimes it seems to get stuck
and cannot send any data. A printout of the debug in that
case is below.
This is from today's wireless-testing (2.6.37-rc8)

A minute or two later and it seems to recover, and traffic starts
going again. I'm curious if anyone has any clues as to where the problem
might lie based on the output above.

...but then it gets stuck again...

I found a similar scenario, but to me even weirder:
Note that the queue is stopped, but has no depth, and not
even any pending frames?
I do notice that the hw-tx-start is less than the number of
processed descriptors. That seems to normally go along with
the tx-hang issues..perhaps caused by chip resets or similar?
