I've been having a hard time testing this issue under the mainline kernel as there are some other, unrelated stability issues. The random wireless connectivity drops, unfortunately, do seem to be happening still. One big difference, however, was that I was no longer able to successfully reload the driver as a workaround. Under the mainline kernel when I rmmod && modprobe the operation just hangs indefinitely.

One thing I didn't mention in my original post: it seems that the connection only drops while idle. I haven't had problems with it dropping mid-download or while streaming radio. It does drop sometimes while watching streaming video though. I don't know if this happens during or between buffering events.

Is there something else I should test?

Thank you for your help,

William
