I'm going to bump this, as the last report was years ago. I'm now experiencing this issue on a Qualcomm Atheros AR938x device I've had for years now. Same issue with constant disconnects as well as a new issue that might involve iommu?

AR928X Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01) that works (tries to) with ath9k module. It connects to my access point and works ok however, It disconnects every 2-3 min saying (in dmesg): [ 311.600306] wlan0: RX AssocResp from 00:1d:68:0c:97:63 (capab=0x411 status=0 aid=2) and then automatically reconnects... I have tried different drivers and other things.... Interestingly when I right-clicked on network manger applet, select ¨disable networking¨ and then set up everything myself on console using iwconfig and dhclient..... IT WORKS!!! no disconnections.... wpa_supplicant is still running in a background but not doing anything (my wifi has WEP encryption). I´ve seen some similar reports in Internet but they seem to think that it is a driver problem when to me it looks like a NetworkManager issue...
