Definitely better. I still get occasional hickup but normally they
are just temporary, and no intervention is needed.

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?

WHat do you mean with trace-cmd? I don't have a "trace" utility installed,
only strace and ltrace AFAIR. And then, what should be traced?

This is a locked down bios from Sony, I can't get access to
these details, unfortunately.
