The problem here is that we are dealing with with closed-source
software, so I cannot point to a place in the code that should be
implemented differently. I'm also not capable of running production
tests for counting the kernel oopses per day, or whatever metric the
quality of a driver is measured by. All I can say is that wl oopses more
frequently now than it did before.

My perception is that the old driver used to work better than Broadcom's
newer release, and the same seems to be true for many other people; see
the links in the OP. This is why I opened this bug.

I realize that this isn't much for you to work with. In particular, I
don't expect anyone to track down the bug. This is why I suggest to not
immediately discard old drivers on the arrival of a newer version.

The new driver still accounts for about one wifi outage per hour here.
One OFF-ON on WiFi switch brings it back on.
