I wouldn't have time to even run a netstat.

I went back to my original dump, and verified that no received
packet had the fragment bit on. Not even towards the end that it was
expecting a fragment but never received it.

But would the device have sent a RST if it received a fragment
it couldn't route? I'm getting an actual RST from the router on the other
end of a WDS link towards the far end laptop.
