Heh :)

Let's also add linux-wireless.

It wasn't on mine for sure, so far. But it's supposed to be Christmas
vacation, so haven't checked our bug tracker etc. I see Emmanuel was at
least looking at the bug report, but not sure what else happened yet.

Off the top of my head, I don't really see the issue. Does anyone have
the ability to capture the frames over the air (e.g. with another AX200
in monitor mode, load the driver with amsdu_size=3 module parameter to
properly capture A-MSDUs)?
