ath10k driver crashing occasionally on dell xps laptop with QCA6174 802.11ac adapter

[Andrea Pierré]

Hello,

I believe I have a similar issue on openSUSE Tumbleweed on a DELL XPS 13 
7390 with a Qualcomm Atheros QCA6174 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter: 
the Wi-Fi connection stays connected to the router but internet access 
drops randomly, and I have to manually restart NetworkManager to get it 
back on.
I added a few log messages on StackExchange 
(https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/769001/unstable-wi-fi-connection) 
and on the openSUSE forum 
(https://forums.opensuse.org/t/unstable-wi-fi-connection/172126), and 
I'm happy to provide anything needed to troubleshoot!

Thanks in advance!

Best,
