3.19 brings significant improvement which are concretely:

  * The interruptions are short and NetworkManager (0.9.8.8 on Ubuntu 14.10) manages to reconnect immediately which means effectively no interruptions except if there's a severe failure (often in conjunction of failure of all USB3.0 connected device).
  * The driver can run an extended period of time, now. I managed to transfer 2 TB from a cifs share which before seemed impossible. I didn't test with multiple connections which caused immediate failure before (as reported in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75381#c8).

Maybe [the script I wrote to force reconnecting by un- and reloading the driver][1] is of help for someone.
