Well queue kicking from driver to mac80211 is in rt2x00 based on txdone events on a particular queue. (When frame was succesfully transmitted and is no longer full, then the queue will be awakened by rt2x00). I am changing this a bit to support burst events that will send all fragments in a single run, but that is currently under testing in rt2x00.git.
