This is now implemented in CVS snapshot. Host AP driver tries to use
32-bit tallies with STA f/w 0.8.2 and newer. In addition, the driver
will now periodically (every 10 seconds) update the statistics if there
are no unsolicited CommTallies info frames. I tested this with number of
different firmware versions and both 16-bit and 32-bit tallies seems to
be working. However, I did not verify whether InfDrop behavior changed
in high load situations. So, if you have seen InfDrops, please let me
know whether you see any difference when using the latest CVS snapshot.
Please also mention the station firmware version.
