Interesting, I thought it might have been an ARM board and it could be something else that wasn't happening correctly.

I am surprised your system is that different from mine, but I am fine with bumping it. I don't really like to clutter the module parameters unnecessarily, and if we bump this to 5000, I think it is unlikely anyone else will hit this problem. If they do, I think there are other issues at play. >> Note that the patch should at least be relative to >> wireless-drivers-next, or preferably my rtl8xxxu-devel tree.
