This isn't *quite* right, since you have to take an 802.11 header (vs.
an ethernet header) into account, I think?

It's only a rough approximation anyway to prevent very large A-MSDUs
from being created with low rates.

Right, but it seemed like the intent was to allow two full-MTU sized
frames to be combined, which this doesn't.

I'll look into it some more to see if it's better to change the comment
or the code in this case.
