+Subject: b43: Mask the PHY TX error interrupt
+
+Mask the PHY TX error interrupt. This error triggers for yet unknown
+reasons. It's not that often to really harm the transmission, but it _might_
+be more often than 1000 times in 15 seconds. The PHY TX error watchdog however
+will reset the controller, if it triggers more than 1000 times in 15 seconds.
+This might happen under heavy load and thus kill the interface.
+
+So as a workaround we ignore the PHY TX error.
