I'm not sure how touchy the system is about stuff like that. I suspect that the 
solution will come
from thinking about interactions rather than from debugging experiments. At the 
moment, I have set
BADNESS_LIMIT to 20 to see if that cures the instances when my interface just 
goes offline with
nothing in the log. Usually an ifdown/ifup sequence will clear it, but once in 
a while I have to
unload bcm43xx and reload it.
