Thanks for the explanation.

When I reported the issue last month, I also tried running the
main branch snapshot from hostap.git and it also failed.

Today I tried it again against top of head:
96deacf5d71022b263a27113de52c1f13efdd6ec
and Wifi is functional on QCA9377!

It looks like there is a recent commit in the main branch that fixed
the problem.

Do you have any suggestion as to what this commit could be?

I would like to get v2.10 fixed as well.

Thanks a lot
