after a few days of running these patches I did not hit anything, then 
on a reboot I hit this. positive side though is I didnt loose internet 
connectivity altogether i.g. my music streaming stayed connected but 
internet surfing lost connection for a few seconds(30-40) then came back.

this is in dmesg..:
