This driver has a hack in cmd.c which effectively disables all filtering. This seems to be triggering a firmware bug where it stops reporting any rx packets after random time on some routers, which is eliminated (or at least appears much more rarely) when filtering is on. I have found that only BSSID filter needs to be disabled for association to work, so disable only that instead of all filtering.
