Comment 10 for bug 1270808

Hi,

Thanks for the patch @sforshee! My WLAN experience has improved quite a bit. I now believe my router also has problems, but that's another issue for my ISP.

I only have this error in /var/log/syslog to report:

It doesn't happen often, but when it does it seems like all wifi communication goes still.
I'm also seeing this in the logs, but I don't know if it's related to the patch:
