Please also check if the station(s) that the frames are queued for are

throwing them in the hw queue, yet they'd still take up pending-frame
slots. I was planning on fixing this eventually by expiring frames that
stay in the queue for too long, but haven't decided on the exact
approach yet.

PS is disabled for multi-VIF.
What about off-channel PS due to scans, etc.

Scan is always locked to the same channel in this setup (once
a single station is associated).

The stations stay associated while this problem happens (the
high-priority queue seems to work just fine, which may be
the reason they stay associated just fine.)

In some cases, I see packets delivered around 30 seconds late...
aside from PS and off-channel..any idea what could make a packet
stick around that long in the tx queues?

Thanks,
Ben
