Guys, you are taking this way too seriously.
These PHY transmission errors are _harmless_. They don't cause any
breakage, if they only appear once in a while.
The message does only mean that we failed to transmit a packet.
That is not fatal. The 802.11 protocol does recover from it
without any problems.

I think we should probably silence the warning and only print it
when it happens like 20 times per second.

We have more important things to do than to waste our time on
a packet lost out of one thousand.
