Is possible that this is the FW problem for this particular RT2872
device or we do not correctly program registers for it. 

I think the issue is that at some point HW/FW is not capable to sent 
frames and do not report to driver failure of sending frames, hence
driver queue can not be moved forward. The solution to this will be
timeout mechanism for TX, similar like for rt2800usb, however this will
require substantial rt2800pci/mmio driver rewrite. I'm going to look
at this, but not sure when.

Cheers
