This is the most heavily loaded configuration I use with this device and I don't have issues with either an NVMe SSD or GPU. No hardware-related issues with any USB devices (data goes through PCIe in the end).

Found this unanswered thread at infradead with the exact same hardware but a different PCIe setup: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/ath10k/2017-June/009904.html -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1670706 Title: Kernel Call Trace After Disabling an ath10k Wireless Device (Atheros QCA6174 802.11ac (rev 32)) Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Disabled a wireless adapter via NetworkManager.
