A patch has been submitted which stops the card getting wedged this way,

<http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-wireless/msg23404.html>

from the messages it's not clear whether this is a complete fix, or more
of a workaround for an underlying problem.  It sounds like it got an ACK
from another tester (and I can add mine as well!), but no-one has
accepted or reviewed it :(.

Known issue, just what it says on the tin.  There used to be a bug here,
but it's fixed now.  Just an unsupported performance feature which you
should be able to live without, for the time being :).

(the bugfix thread is here, it confirms the intention to ignore jumbo
frames <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.wireless.general/23383>).
