I seem to remember something ... not really sure.

We queue up packets in ieee80211_tx_prep_agg() when
HT_AGG_STATE_WANT_START is clear but HT_AGG_STATE_OPERATIONAL is not
set, this is the case after we send the addBA request frame and before
we get a response. So since the timeout is 1 second, the connection can
stall for quite a while.
