Does the BBGW or the wifi hardware on the BBGW have some sort of power 
saving mode?

Something interesting I noticed about those "*wlcore: ERROR SW watchdog 
interrupt received! starting recovery*" messages that fill up my serial 
console:  I get one almost every time the BBGW sends out a packet.  This 
corresponds to my ~95% packet loss.

But if I run this command on my BBGW to frequently ping the wifi router, I 
never see the error message, and wifi networking works correctly:

sudo ping -i 0.1 192.168.1.1

If I increase the length of time to 0.2 seconds or longer, then the problem 
happens and I lose wifi connectivity.  But as long as there is a steady 
stream of packets every 0.1 seconds or shorter, wifi works perfectly. 
 Which is why I was wondering -- could the wifi hardware be trying to go 
into some sort of power saving mode?
