The same 6205, I didn't notice bad upload performance though.

Numbers of Ipkts and Oerrs are close enough and Opkts is too small
compared to Ipkts, so I believe the driver misbehaves a bit and
erroneously shows number of output packets as Oerrs.
The Obytes also seems to be too small to be correct.

A few months ago the association with AP starts sometimes to stall with
no traffic in/out at all, reconfig in wpa_cli helps then. Looks like it
correlates with upgrade from 10-stable to 11, but I'm not so sure.
