According to 802.11-2007, 7.3.1.14 it is compliant to use a buf_size of 0 in ADDBA requests. But some devices (AVM Fritz Stick N) arn't able to handle that correctly and will reply with an ADDBA reponse with a buf_size of 0 which in turn will disallow BA sessions for these devices. To work around this problem, if the hardware doesn't specify an upper limit for the number of subframes in an AMPDU send the maximum 0x40 by default in ADDBA requests.
