Your posting truncated the note but what the person was suggesting was
the station was operating in power save mode and so deferring transmits
to the ap.  Unfortunately that's not possible as HEAD has no support for
sta-side power save.mode for ath.

The original posting didn't provide any basic info so there's little
anyone can provide except wild guesses.  There are debugging mechanisms
for tracing what's going on at the net80211 layer and in the driver that
have been referenced countless times in this forum.
