Thanks for testing! (I have got another one to simplify the process)
Can you approve that current tree (master) works without any (new)  
problems?

P.S. Known issue (present in the current driver too):
  - the card ACKs only some frames that were sent using CCK rates
(whilst sees all retransmissions - that can be seen in 'rx discard 'cuz  
dup'
counter via wlanstats)
