I keep getting the following messages on the log buffer:

[ 2281.331305] ieee80211 phy0: brcms_c_dotxstatus: INTERMEDIATE but not AMPDU

[ 2615.651689] ieee80211 phy0: brcms_c_dotxstatus: INTERMEDIATE but not AMPDU

From the code comment I understand that this something that can -
and does, quite frequently - happen.

There have been reports about not being able to use access-points
on channel 12 and 13 or having connectivity issues when these channels
were part of the selected regulatory domain. Upon switching to these
channels the brcmsmac driver suspends the transmit dma fifos. This
patch resumes them upon handing over the first received beacon to
mac80211.

This patch is to be applied to the stable tree for kernel versions
3.2 and 3.3.

As indicated in [1] on netdev mailing list drivers should not block
on the init_module() syscall. This patch defers the actual driver
registration to a workqueue so the init_module() syscall can complete
without delay.

Conflicts in the statistics regression bug fix from 'net',
but happily Matt Carlson originally posted the fix against
'net-next' so I used that to resolve this.

The A-MPDU code checked against a retry limit, but it was using
the wrong variable to do so. This patch fixes this to assure
proper retry mechanism.

This problem had a side-effect causing the mac80211 flush callback
to remain waiting forever as well. That side effect has been fixed
by commit by Stanislaw Gruszka:
