cognet@ has once provided me a tiny hack to the iwi(4) driver and
I never get such errors. Maybe I'm not suffering enough UP/DOWN
cycles to trigger it, but it might be worth trying it.
Note that he has insisted that this is a *hack*.
The patch is attached. Please let us know if it makes things
better.
