Thus, buffered frames tend to stay buffered forever, using up tx descriptors. Instead, use the DBA gating and hold transmission of the buffered frames until 80% of the beacon interval has elapsed using the ready time. This fixes the following error in AP mode: ath5k phy0: no further txbuf available, dropping packet Add a comment to acknowledge that this isn't the best solution.
