Dmitri, I'd be very curious to hear if booting with the irqpoll option
helps your problem.

The other day I was playing with a D-Link DWA-652 and whenever I started
doing bulk transfers dmesg would show "received PCI FATAL interrupt" and
the wireless connection would go dead.

I noticed in /proc/interrupts that both ath9k and nvidia were using IRQ
16.  However, as the nvidia binary driver is more important to me than
the wireless card, and I didn't have very long to decide if I wanted to
keep it, I decided to return the DWA-652.

Thanks,
Jason.
