Yes, we suspected it could be a TX dma problem, because occasionally we found that error in the logs, so we followed some openwrt tickets related with that, but we're not sure that's the problem, and anyway it has not been solved yet. We've also asked on ath9k list about the driver debug files in case we could find something there, but they did't answered, I guess it's hard to explain in a mail list. We haven't asked to linux-wireless, maybe it would be better, since it could be something on top of the driver.
You can post the links to the specific tickets / open bug reports here. Maybe somebody has some information about it. Generally, the wifi lists are the better place to discuss these bugs.
We were thinking in a script that managed the stations to connect to the different APs to avoid configuring each router manually. However we realized that with just one managed interface, each router could connect to only one AP, so if we wanted that every router could connect bidirectionally to others we should use a number of managed interfaces enough to connect to all neigbours, shouldn't we? In any case it would be just another test to see if the results are different.
Correct, managed/AP is a one-to-one connection. If you want a router to connect to several APs you need an additional managed interface per connection.
