you can always disable 11n: modprobe 11n_disable=1.

Well... Something is really weird here:
mac80211 requests from us to:
* start agg
* stop agg
* agg operational

this is not a legal sequence

BTW - I am under this impression that mac80211 hasn't been compiled
with HT debug flag. Can you please set this compilation flag ?

I also would like you to add this line in iwlagn_mac_ampdu_action:


static int iwlagn_mac_ampdu_action(struct ieee80211_hw *hw,
struct ieee80211_vif *vif,
enum ieee80211_ampdu_mlme_action action,
struct ieee80211_sta *sta, u16 tid, u16 *ssn,
u8 buf_size)
{
struct iwl_priv *priv = hw->priv;
int ret = -EINVAL;
struct iwl_station_priv *sta_priv = (void *) sta->drv_priv;

IWL_DEBUG_HT(priv, "A-MPDU action on addr %pM tid %d\n",
sta->addr, tid);

dump_stack(); <<<<========================================= new line

if (!(priv->cfg->sku & EEPROM_SKU_CAP_11N_ENABLE))
return -EACCES;



This will give an insight at why is mac80211 calling the driver and
better point me to the bug.


Thanks !
