>Description:
If I lower iv_fragthreshold to IEEE80211_FRAG_MIN and then ping with a data size
that makes net80211 frame larger than threshold the frame is never sent. 
Freebsd seems to be stuck somewhere cause the ping program never print 
anything, quiting ping does show that packets have been sent but that is not 
true.

Ping without -s option works.

After a while (not sure when or how) I get these print out on console:
# ping -s8192 192.168.5.12
PING 192.168.5.12 (192.168.5.12): 8192 data bytes
arge0: Failed to allocate buffer
ath0: ath_rx_proc: no mbuf!
ath0: ath_rx_proc: no mbuf!
ath0: ath_rx_proc: no mbuf!
ath0: ath_rx_proc: no mbuf!
ath0: ath_rx_proc: no mbuf!
ath0: ath_rx_proc: no mbuf!
ath0: ath_rx_proc: no mbuf!

I tried with -s1024 and -s193 no frame sent, -s192 works fine.
>How-To-Repeat:
change (ieee80211_var.h):
#define IEEE80211_FRAG_DEFAULT          IEEE80211_FRAG_MAX
to:
#define IEEE80211_FRAG_DEFAULT          IEEE80211_FRAG_MIN

Then you need two ath wifi setup as STA and AP.

Then:

# ping -c 1 192.168.5.12
PING 192.168.5.12 (192.168.5.12): 56 data bytes
