yes and when you then look at athstats you probably see the
tx buffer is filled up until the interface stops
transmitting sooner or later

It seems to me that the tx buffer never becomes empty
anymore when the interface raised once "tx stopped because
out of txbuffer" until it then completly stops tx, if you
are present when it happens you can get it back with
ifconfig down/up but when you are late you need to reset it
or reboot. It does not matter how high you set the
ath.txbuf

it seems the problem comes up later when setting higher
values for dev.ath.0.acktimeout and dev.ath.0.ctstimeout
but I am still testing
