Chris, my first suspicion for this issue is filling the whole TX
buffer. This could explain what does it happen on high traffic.
Below there is an idea how we can easily test it. Can you take a look
at this, and perform some testing?

AFAIK to enable this debugging you only need to:
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/b43/phy0/debug_dmaverbose
