Ethan: I've been looking at your dump more. What seems to be happening
is that you're getting a reliable connection at CCK rates (low number of
tx retries), then the rate control algorithm bumps you up to HT rates
and you start getting a high number of retries. After a while you get
bumped back down to CCK rates, and the tx retry count goes down again.

I honestly don't know much about the rate control algorithm, but from
what I do know this behavior seems approximately right - push the rate
up until you start having problems, then push it back a notch. If your
connection feels flaky though then maybe it isn't being aggressive
enough on the backoff or something like that.

None of this should really have any bearing on the beacon loss issue
however.
