I just had my first bit of quirkiness with my 5100 (console output
below). The past few days I was spending some time at my local cafe
on battery power without an issue. No connectivity issues the past
two days, most of which has been on battery power (approximately 1.5
hours each day). I doubt that is relevant, but I was more intrigued
as the output and connectivity loss occurred on AC power. I have made
no changes to the system (including source upgrades) since patching
this driver.

I've been using this on -STABLE, for what it's worth, with no issues
(other than above, which was solved with 'netif restart wlan0'.)
Cheers.
