Well... I might have been unclear here (I never know how much detail I should share with the recipient :)).
>From your log it appears that the NIC is in power save. So we can't increment the write pointer of the Tx ring (add a packet for transmission). So we simply remember that we need to do so (increment the write pointer) and request a wakeup so that we will update the write pointer in the wakeup interrupt... which doesn't happen.
No power save - no need for wakeup interrupt.
