+According to documentation IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU_NO_BACK is suppose
+to be used when we do not recive BA (BlockAck). However on rt2x00 we
+use it when remote station fail to decode one or more subframes within
+AMPDU (some bits are not set in BlockAck bitmap). Setting the flag result
+in sent of BAR (BlockAck Request) frame and this might result of abuse
+of BA session, since remote station can sent BA with incorrect
+sequence numbers after receiving BAR. This problem is visible especially
+when connecting two rt2800 devices.
+
+Previously I observed some performance benefits when using the flag
+when connecting with iwlwifi devices. But currently possibly due
+to reacent changes in rt2x00 removing the flag has no effect on
+those test cases.
+
+So remove the IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU_NO_BACK.
