I have about 6k oerrs according to netstat -bdh -I wlan0 on 64M opkts the
last 12 days on one machine but I did walk around and roam heavily and had
a few beacon loss cases.
I left that laptop in a stable state and place over night and it didn't
increase by a single oerr.

LinuxKPI 802.11 doesn't icrease oerr by itself if I do remember correctly
but net80211 would upon error.  I need to go and see what I do on queue
overruns in case they cannot be reported back or add stats to
 	sysctl compat.linuxkpi.80211.wlan0.dump_stas_queues
or similar.

You could also check wlanstats if you see anything specific which may
correlate to this.
