Which D-Link model is that AP? I think I should try to get one of those
added to me test bed.. ;-)

Thanks! Would you happen to have timing information available for these
(e.g., from klogd)? It looks like the AP is sending out an ADDBA Request
to update some parameters, but we currently ignore that request.
However, at least in this particular case, our RX reorder bug head_seq
matches with the ssn from the ADDBA Request, so I'm not sure whether
ignoring the ADDBA contents is really causing harm here (anyway, we
should really process these updates, too).

The timeouts on RX reorder frames look similar to what I have seen in my
tests and the workaround was indeed trying to address that type of
issue, so it is nice to hear that it helped in this case, too.
