[PATCH 4/6] mac802154: Increase tx_buffer_len
Increase the buffer length from 10 to 300 packets. Consider that traffic on mac802154 devices will often be 6LoWPAN, and a full-length (1280 octet) IPv6 packet will fragment into 15 6LoWPAN fragments (because the MTU of IEEE 802.15.4 is 127). A 300-packet queue is really 20 full-length IPv6 packets. With a queue length of 10, an entire IPv6 packet was unable to get queued at one time, causing fragments to be dropped, and making reassembly impossible.
