I *think* it was the MSI troubles, causing interrupts to get lost forever. Anyway, it went away in -rc6.Hah, that's a lot more plausible than bcm43xx's drain patch actually causing this. So maybe somehow interrupts for bcm43xx aren't routed properly or something... Ray, please check /proc/interrupts when this happens. I am convinced that the patch in question (drain tx status) is not causing this -- the patch should be a no-op in most cases anyway, and in those cases where it isn't a no-op it'll run only once at card init and remove some things from a hardware-internal FIFO.
I agree that drain tx status should not cause the problem. Ray, does -rc6 solve your problem as it did for Joseph?
