The frames appear to be stuck in the pending queue.

Any ideas on what code to go poking at?

xmit.c would be a good place. Can you also post the kernel log with some
debugging information ? debug=0x8f49 would be good.

I started working on this again.  Here's a better description of the test
case:

I have 32 stations connected to an AP, both ath9k, 3.7.9+ kernel.

Each station is configured to pass 64kbps traffic bi-directional
UDP traffic, 1500 byte packets.  The traffic is generated externally
(the AP is bridged to an ethernet device, the stations are bridged
in software using AF_PACKET sockets.

At attenuator sits between the two systems.

I ramp up the attenuation in 10db increments from 0 to 95.

At some point, the AP wedges it's xmit queue.  It appears it still
receives traffic fine (I see lots of packets coming in the AP
interface and going out the ethernet port).

On a second run, it was the station machine that locked up.
One thing that may be interesting:  queue V0 appears to be
passing traffic fine (at least as far as the ath9k xmit debugfs
file shows), but queue BE is wedged.

From the AP lockup case, dmesg is full of stuff like this:
