Symptom: Elevated retry rate on all bands (~35% at 320MHz). Visible in iw dev <iface> station dump (tx retries field).
Analysis: Firmware manages rate adaptation and retry logic. Tested with newer firmware (v25.030.3.0057, 2026-01-18) - did not improve. This is not fixable in the driver.
Impact: Reduced effective throughput, though real-world speeds still reach 841 Mbps on 320MHz despite the retry overhead.
Status: Firmware dependency. Tracking for visibility so duplicate reports can be redirected here.
