Comment (by thommyj@…):
I've been running my original patch (so not the updated kernel) ever since
I first posted it in the thread. So far I have not experienced the same
error. I have however seen another Wifi error, with similar outcome. I
didn't analyze the error further than checking my added counters to see
that it wasn't the same error. I've also seen an Ethernet driver crash
under high load. Both happens very seldom for me (maybe 3 times last year
or so). I'm running both an Asus wl500gd and a Linksys WRT54G (I think ver
2.X). Those were also the ones I tested my original patch on. So I cant
speak for other Broadcom chips, although if I remember correctly someone
on the wireless mailing list tested the kernel patch on other hws.
An easy check is to increase the number of available slots to see if it
happens more seldom. Patch in this thread could be used (although it
probably wont apply cleanly anymore).
