Comment (by pfalcon):
No, this is the same issue, namely "bcm47xx/b43 wireless connection
suddenly stops when router system load increases", and yes, streaming a
download via Ethernet (and via NAT) is easy way to increase system load.
The connection recovers because, well, this was the *workaround* applied
to make this issue manageable. I'm not going to reopen this ticket or open
new though - there're limits to what Open Source community can do to mend
vendors' wicked ways. Sometimes it's just easier to say "$%*& off,
Broadcom, I'll try hard to stay away from your products from now on", and
buy human-friendly hardware (I'm astonished how much better Atheros works
for example).
Thanks all who brought up b43 driver though - it's great work, another
example that the community is smarter than some vendors.
