A frame would be completed with ATH9K_TXERR_FILT status only when the corresponding filter bit for the destination station is already set. Currently, un-acknowledged packets are added to the pending queue and retried, but the "clear_dest_mask" bit in the descriptor is set only when the TX status has been ATH9K_TXERR_FILT. This results in packet loss and the log shows: wlan0: dropped TX filtered frame, queue_len=0 PS=0 @4309746071 wlan0: dropped TX filtered frame, queue_len=0 PS=0 @4309746076 wlan0: dropped TX filtered frame, queue_len=0 PS=0 @4309746377 ... ... This issue can be resolved by making sure that the destination mask is cleared when the packet is being retried and the earlier TX status is ATH9K_TXERR_XRETRY.
