 Howdy,
 
 I'm going over the logs now. Thanks very much for this.
 
 Now, whilst I'm doing so - the next time this TX hang happens (where
 you can scan but can't associate/pass traffic), can you please log in
 to the AP and do 'sysctl dev.ath.0.txagg=1' and include that? I bet
 we'll find the TX buffers have been exhausted.
 
 The TX buffer exhaustion issue should really be fixed as a separate
 issue. I would like to see why you're seeing TX stalls.
