OK rather than recompile the kernel with debugfs enabled, as you suggested I took the debugging call to b43dbg() out of the B43_DBG_DMAVERBOSE if block (so it is entered whether or not verbose debugging is set). I transferred a 268MB file across the LAN in a little over 5 minutes (so the transfer speed was a little under 10Mb/s). During the course of the transfer I got about 500 "b43-phy0 debug: Stopped TX ring 1" statements logged. However the interesting thing is that with this debugging statement included, I got no messages about any out of order TX status; instead, apart from the overrun messages to the debug log, the link performed normally. The file transfer did not fail (I have checked that the file received is identical to the file sent) nor was the link to the router lost. Probably writing to the debug log has changed some timing race somewhere to the benefit of link integrity. However, as I said, I am not going to be in a position to do much testing by way of transferring further files over the LAN for a period of time, for unrelated reasons.
