Heh. I may be jetlagged and not thinking straight. LCA/LPC ;)

Duh. I'm blind and didn't notice, because I was expecting it in the same order.
And I didn't think about it or double-check, because the errors that
then followed later _looked_ like that TX power failing that I thought
hadn't happened.

Yeah, maybe the power stuff was just another effect of things getting
stuck, rather than the reason for it getting stuck.
So I probably mis-attributed the cause.

No, I tried to turn off and turn on Wifi manually (no button, just the
settings panel).
I didn't notice the WARN_ON(), I just noticed that there was no
networking, and "turn it off and on again" is obviously the first
thing to try ;)

Sure. I cleaned up the logs to not spam people with lots of illegible
data, but it's all in the journal log.

but if you want full logs I can send them in private to you.
I do suspect it's atheros and suspend/resume or something. The
wireless clearly worked for a while after the resume, but then at some
point it stopped.

Yeah, maybe it would time out everything eventually. But not for a
long time. It hadn't cleared up by
Sep 11 10:36:21 xps13 gnome-session-f[6837]: gnome-session-failed:
Fatal IO error 0 (Success) on X server :0.
which is when I shut down the machine (and had to then force a hard
power-off because the shutdown wanted things that needed the rtnl_lock
to go away)
