I think something went wrong with the patch you attached.
when I detach it, it contains

  Building modules, stage 2.
  MODPOST 1 modules

And nothing else.


Further..  When I was testing the driver (both in AP and STA modes) I had it
disconnected form the network, and disconnected from the bridge.  As a
result there would have been very little data transmitted.  However there is
lots of 802.11 traffic in the air.  So I think that we will find the problem
on the receive path rather than the transmit path,  Just my 2c worth until I
get some logging in there.
