Rolled back to r21599, where it works with the same config

cannot find commits r21950 and r21599. Please provide links to them

these are from nightly snapshots. should be the same as this:

Solved by installing manually the relevant firmware packages. AUC is not able to install them because it only reinstalls already installed packages (sort of). I also needed to reinstall hostapd, it was gone, maybe because of the migration from wolfssl to mbedtls.
