[MV] How is this looking now?

[MV] I'm going through this log -- don't have a root cause for this yet, but getting closer to it. I see in this log that authentication is timing out. It appears that the driver sent out the authentication frame, and received some frame OTA, but I can't tell what it received from just the dmesg log. I'd like some trace-cmd logs from you. Is it possible for you to collect a trace-cmd log and send over the binary to me?

[MV] This is good to know. I wonder if this is related to the PCIe l used on your platform. Can you try to use PCIe link state management to L0s in your BIOS and see if the stability of your system improves?

[MV] the tx session timer expiry ... hmm... I haven't looked at it. Otherwise, it seems to be Tx Aggregation sessions being turned on and turned off, so perhaps we will reduce the debug level at which it is printed. One of us is looking at the frequency with which these messages are being reported.
