This is just a suggestion but it might be helpful to include also driver
and wpasupplicant traces to the same file. For example, here's what we
documented for ath10k:

Another things to try narrow down the problem is manually running
wpasupplicant. And also using manual IPs (no DHCP at all) or just use
'iw connect' without encryption.
