Comment 6 for bug 69717

I just had some look at the source doe of the driver. After i found this comment:

 /* nothing cleaned, yet (almost) no free buffers available?
  * --> clean all tx descs, no matter which status!!
  * Note that I strongly suspect that doing emergency cleaning
  * may confuse the firmware. This is a last ditch effort to get
  * ANYTHING to work again...
  *
  * TODO: it's best to simply reset & reinit hw from scratch...
  */

I tried to unload the acx modules after this error, and then reload it. But it didn't work, the link did not get ready.

Here is the dmesg output:
