My patch for ath5k is only one part of the story. It sets the retry limits in
HW. Most of these values only affect after how many retries the contention
window is reset to cw_min, not the actual number of retries (please check the
register documentation in my patch). The total number of retries for a frame
are the values we put into the TX descriptor - coming from the rate control
module (minstrel).

Ah, thanks for the clarification.  We could of course mess with the MRR
setup in ->tx inside the driver, but it would be better to fix it there.
