Public bug reported:

Since a recent upgrade (kernel 3.11?) my wireless has gone unstable.

Fails every few hours, dmesg shows:

[ 1373.827739] brcmsmac bcma0:0: phyerr 0x1, rate 0x1414
[ 1373.827800] brcmsmac bcma0:0: brcms_c_ampdu_dotxstatus_complete: ampdu tx phy error (0x1)

[ 1373.960979] brcmsmac bcma0:0: wl0: fatal error, reinitializing
[ 1373.962829] ieee80211 phy0: Hardware restart was requested

Fixed either by reboot or turning wireless hardware switch on and off.
