Hi Kevin,

yes, that issue is still a major blocker here for me too.  My problem
between the handful-ish of people is that I cannot yet say what the
issue is for all of you.

This seems to be cut off or the kernel log spew it elsewhere.

But this is usually triggered by net80211/wpa_supplicant hanging mind to
which BSSID to assoc to and ripping the old one away from under our feet.

This one is weird as it would have an accompanying "see PR" messe from
iwlwifi.  In addition I thought I recently fixed this for good.  what
version (or branch/githash) are you running?

Ok, that Ap is likely a Broadcom(?) [or QCA?] doing VHT on 2Ghz as well;
not standard and not supported in FreeBSD.  ASUS AP?  This can be
ignored.

You did assoc to something in the end (same second).  I assume that was
a 2.4Ghz channel then?
