Hi! Those TIM messages and PSPOLL messages are expected. They're the power save state change.s Since your laptop on battery is likely trying ot save as much power as possible, this isn't surprising. can you give me the logging info when TX stalls? I'd like to see what the state of the TX queues are. Thanks!
