In the past few days, I have observed that:
- if my wireless connection is set on the 5 GHz band
- when the router switches the channel
- a notification that the connection is lost is displayed
- within seconds, a new connection is made on the 2.4 GHz band (I have a 
connection profile with lower priority)

I have:
- NO MORE freeze because the log files are taking all the disk space
- NO MORE freeze with no possibility to disconnect Network Manager

Actually this behaviour on channel switch has been consistent during the
last few days and is now what I had with Ubuntu 19.10 and older
releases.

I don't know what updates made things change but the current situation
is fine for me.

Kernel is 5.4.0-48-generic x86_64 fully updated and using wpa_supplicant

Title:
  Intel Wireless 8260 [8086:24f3] Subsystem [8086:1010] on channel
  switch, iwlwifi Microcode SW Error: FW error in SYNC CMD

  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Ubuntu Mate 20.04, with all supplied kernels up to 5.4.0.33

  I occasionally see a message on my screen that disk space is low. I
  try rebooting since my computer is unresponsive. Normal reboot does
  not work, sudo reboot does not work. I have to power off the machine
  using power button. Machine boots but hangs because its trying to
  repair journal info.

  I can't see what causes that since I was not using my computer at the time.
  edit: see comment #14

  So with a live session, I can see that syslog and kern.log files have
  grown to several GB until the drive is full.

  When using an upstream kernel 5.4.43-050443-generic x86_64, I haven't had any 
problem so far.
  edit: not true actually, this happened again using this upstream kernel.

  Never had this issue with previous Ubuntu versions with the very same
  hardware configuration, since 16.04.

  Included: partial syslog and kern.log with the same message repeated over and 
over.
  edit: and when the event starts.
