I've been running with this patch for 15 hours or so and it works well
for me.  It may have even fixed random issues with the card crapping out
after resume (successful association, does DHCP, but after a minute or
two no longer passes traffic until a hard reboot even with multiple
rmmod/modprobe runs), though that could also be hallucination on my
part.
