It means that the firmware did not respond to the command in the time
the driver expected it to.  Command 0x0028 is CMD_MAC_CONTROL, which is
probably coming from lbs_set_mac_packet_filter(), which is called from
libertas_setup_firmware().

You might want to print out the value of priv->currentpacketfilter when
lbs_set_mac_packet_filter() gets called.  Would be interesting to find
out the value of it.
