 If you do iwconfig several times, you'll see the "Rx invalid frag:"
 continually increasing.

 According to the iwconfig source, that is supposed to be a count of bad
 received fragments.  But the libertas driver appears to fill in that field
 (wstats.discard.fragment) with the "dot11ReceivedFragmentCount" field from
 CMD_802.11_GET_LOG.  Instead of reporting bad fragments, it's reporting
 good fragments.

 The questionable line is:

 wext.c:880          priv->wstats.discard.fragment =
 le32_to_cpu(priv->logmsg.rxfrag);

 The logmsg.fcserror field looks like a better candidate than the
 logmsg.rxfrag field.
