I tried wireless-testing today to see if the recent rtw88 patches are
fixing the problems I'm facing with my rtw8821ce device.
The device now associates much faster and the tons of "failed to get tx
report from firmware" messages are gone.
However, the device disconnects very often and the log shows lots of
[ 20.900786] rtw_8821ce 0000:02:00.0: timed out to flush queue 1
messages, which is new.
A typical section from the dmesg output:

FW version is 24.11.0.
I tried with and without disable_lps_deep / disable_aspm, but that makes
no difference.
Any ideas ? Anything I can do ?

Frank
