This is because of broadcast filtering. This feature hasn't been supported for quite a while and now the firmware rejects the command we send to it. The easy fix is to compile iwlwifi without CONFIG_IWLWIFI_BCAST_FILTERING (which should not be enabled by default). I have removed this option from the driver now and will send the patch to 5.17-rc* as a fix. Golan, I think we have a bugzilla for this, do you remember? -- Cheers, Luca.
