I blew it.  The default setting of -1 was supposed to disable all tx error
messages (a la the old driver) but instead caused all messages to be printed
(no rate limiting).  It looks like you need to do something like:

sysctl hw.wi.txerate=999999

to disable the error messages or set it to some other value N to get no more
than N messages/second printed.  I'll fix the code to set the default to a
large number.
