I've just committed a workaround for this. Meaning the driver will
now try to restart the interface automatically when this happens.

It would be nice to understand the underlying cause but the information
I have so far leads nowhere. A small bit of good news is that I've seen
this happen on one of my own machines. Not in an environment where I can
actually debug the issue but good enough to test my workaround.

These messages are printed when everything works as expected.
