brcms_c_prec_enq_head: No where to go, prec == 4

After a little while (10 min-ish) of using wireless, connection becomes completely unresponsive. However, stills says im connected - things like 'ping' just simply hang. Restarting network services fix it for another few minutes (I've tried this under NetworkManager and netcfg).

Looking at journalctl logs, there is "brcms_c_prec_enq_head: No where to go, prec == 4", which appears repeatedly until I restart wireless.

Additionally, I get some kind of kernel warning after a bunch of the queue warnings:

Did switching to Broadcom-wl help at all ?

Well, yeah. But recently I got back on brcmblabla and for me it's working again.

I'm getting this as well, with Broadcom BCM4313 WLAN.

Re: brcms_c_prec_enq_head: No where to go, prec == 4

Looks like it happens when the Access Point is configured as 802.11n.

Try changing the AP to 802.11b/g and see if the problem persists.
Stopped crashing here. I have a BCM4313 too...
