Looking at __ieee80211_amsdu_copy() now I got why other drivers copy hdrlen +
8, thx :)
In our case reuse_frag is true in __ieee80211_amsdu_copy, so we will end up
copying 32B + ether_len. Anyway I think 32 is a little bit too low and we could get
better performances increasing it a little bit.
A typical use case (e.g IPv6 + TCP):

IPv6 = 40B, TCP = 32B --> so 72B..I guess 128B is a good value :)
@Felix, Johannes: what do you think?

Regarding the patch I guess let's apply it as it is in order to fix the pending
issue and then we will figure out how to proceed (copy hdr_len + 3 or increase
the value in __ieee80211_amsdu_copy)

Lorenzo
