Were there any other logs leading up to to the DEAUTH_LEAVING? That looks a
lot like a normal disconnection, my typical repro looked more like:

wlp2s0: deauthenticated from <AP> (Reason: 6=CLASS2_FRAME_FROM_NONAUTH_STA)

I found `journalctl` more useful because it showed the other services as
well, like in [1]. When in this state, I could connect to the hotspot on my
phone, but in a couple of cases, this crashed the Wi-Fi card's firmware. I
didn't know about bind/unbind, I would just unload/reload the ath11k_pci
kernel module and then it would connect properly.
