Ok, thanks, so it indeed looks like a TX aggregation issue. Can I talk
you into getting more debug info?
wlandebug 0xffffffff
sysctl dev.iwn.0.debug=3D0xffffffff
That is indeed quite spammy, but I'm not yet sure what I'm looking for exac=
tly..

TX aggregation is only started if there is certain amount of traffic,
if you say it is within one minute, what kind of traffic was that?
Just some web serving, email, or..?

Also, I would be great if you have another device available to capture
a dump of what's going on. The dump shouldn't get too large if it's
only a minute. :)

Yeah, for reporting stats to the ratectl algo, which itself needs some
bigger surgery obviously :) But I'm not convinced that this is
related.
