In one of the systems where I reproduce the issue, there is no nmcli
installed at all,
so the commands above are not relevant to my use case.

The commit log from 144314eaa7e0 ("wpa_supplicant: Send EAPOL frames
over nl80211
where available") states:

"I have tested this on DMG (11ad/ay) devices with an out-of-tree Linux
 driver that does not use mac80211."

So it looks like this commit tried to fix an out-of-tree Linux driver,
but broke ath10k.

How do we proceed? Can you help me with this?

Thanks
