Hello to all of you.
I would be very happy if this problem could be sorted out.
But I should be honest: when the only possibility seemd to run a git bisect on openwrt,I was discouraged.
too many builds, and some patching would be needed if you consider that this thing worked with 3.9 kernel or something like that, and I might be wrong (i.e.: it could be 3.6 or something).
That's why I actually didn't start this - sorry to all guys.
Stanislaw's help has been greatly apreciated, and invaluable.
The problem seems to verify differently depending on the card: on an MT7620A-based SOC, namely the TP-LINK Archer MR200, the error occurs but seems not to get the card stuck.
Different story is for the wireless NIC found in the Asus WL-330N3G device.
The circumnstances on which the problem verifies itself are not clear to me. Still, it would be very importantto get this solved, due to the mainstream presence of the hardware itself.
I don't have so many wi-fi clients here: the iPhone still has been a good tool to cause some problems.
I am available for code testing. As some of you will already know, I may be slow on responding and testing overall, and having the problem verify can take some time.
Still, I am available.
Thank you for your work, time and patience.

Hi Daniel,
The driver seems much improved after this fix.
it's about those two
[PATCH 1/2] rt2x00: pause almost full queue early
[PATCH 2/2] rt2x00: do not pause queue unconditionally on error path
Under very heavy load (30 clients downloading multi-GB files from SD card on the server concurrently), wifi dies with errors:

Hi Jamie,
there was another round of discussion regarding the queue management
problem and Stanislaw Gruszka (the main rt2x00 maintainer) suggested
two patches which would be a more correct fix for the
rt2x00queue_write_tx_frame: Error - Dropping frame due to full tx queue
message and consecutive problems.
I imported them to my staging tree. Please retest and join the
discussion on
