Right near the end there you have 'status 83' which means 'transmit failed, long retry hit' (the status codes are in if_iwnreg.h somewhere.) The retry count hit 16, which is the max set for the frame. rate=80 (hex) is MCS0. So, you're seeing retransmits and failures at MCS0, which is a bad sign.

Yes. So one of the.. unfortunately broken things in iwn is the ampdu tx code doesn't do retransmits. So if amrr picks a rate that fails to transmit everything, the driver doesn't retransmit them. It frees them. Now when amrr is enabled the hardware will retry at lower rates until something succeed
