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.

I'm still unconvinced.  One of the tx queues actually has a both
read_ptr and write_ptr incrementing once or twice per second even when
I can't ping the gateway.  Can you point me at the right code or log
stuff to look at?
