There doesn't seem to be any impact (ie, it might have some impact but
I'm too insensitive to notice). The driver does recover itself and I do
not have to mess with rfkill or "modprobe -r" or whatever. I actually
discovered this because I tend to regularly do
    dmesg -r |  grep "^<[123]>"

to keep myself informed of any kernel errors (or worse). And then these
few dozen lines can't go unnoticed.
