moxart_mac_start_xmit() doesn't care where tx_tail is, tx_head can catch and pass tx_tail, which is bad because moxart_tx_finished() isn't guaranteed to catch up on freeing resources from tx_tail.
Add a check in moxart_mac_start_xmit() stopping the queue at the end of the circular buffer. Wake it on completion.
