This interrupt occurs when the device failed to transmit a unicast 
frame. It retries several times (and gives us an interrupt for each 
retry) and then sends a final interrupt saying that it's given up. The 
definition of "failed to transmit" is "did not receive an ACK within a 
predefined timeframe".

It has nothing to do with software or protocol retry. Lowering the rate 
would be a sensible experiment.

Pay little attention to the strength/quality values, they are very 
fictitious.
