Exact same hardware and configuration:

ath9k, around 240 wifi
stations trying to connect to APs that can handle a bit less
than 240 total, starting TCP traffic when stations are connected.
It appears that the constant churn of stations going up and down
is key, but of course that is par for the course, especially in
the wifi stack.

Some of our local wifi patches make the system work considerably faster when
we have hundreds of wifi stations, so timing will be different on upstream
kernels, and of course we could have bugs :)

Thanks,
Ben
