can you post full dmesg, from boot start?
I think I have fixed this already, please open a new bug if you see more problems in the future.
@greearb, is this fixed in 4.4 kernel branch?
Not sure, I haven't done any testing on 4.4 in some time. Does it crash for you? And, why use such an old kernel?
@greearb I'm using Turris Omnia router, which runs on 4.4 kernel on a stable firmware (4.14 on next, yet unstable firmware). It has Qualcomm Atheros QCA986x/988x 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter
(Compex WLE900VX card).

I experience two problems:
My server which is always connected via Wi-Fi to the router becomes unavailable and could not connect to Wi-Fi until you restart the router or Wi-Fi subsystem (type wifi
in OpenWRT). You won't be able to connect to Wi-Fi network from the server until the router is restarted. Yet, other Wi-Fi devices continue to work fine. This happens about once in 1-2 weeks. The server has Intel Wireless 8265 PCI-e card. No new kernel messages appear when this happens.
I see these dmesg messages as @timkgh reported. I'm not sure if this is related to the issue above.
Turris support can't help me. If you have an idea what could be wrong and how to fix it, I will gladly test that.
Please try the latest openwrt and see if that works better?
@greearb Right now the router runs Turris OS, a fork of OpenWRT 15.05, and not physically near me so I can't install stock OpenWRT on it. Turris OS gets updates, they update 4.4 LTS kernel and firmware version from time to time.
I don't have the time to debug old forks of openwrt, so you can hope that Turris fixes it for you, or try some other AP with better support. If you reproduce ath10k-ct problems on recent OpenWRT, please open bugs.
