Ok so, at the time I was using r254246. Just this afternoon, I realised
there were quite a few commits after that. I am now on r254444 and
everything seems to be working fine, i.e. no more wlan0 dying randomly.
I have no idea what is causing this, though. (the r254246 was from
installing from a download of 9.2 dvd).
