Summary
Recently at work, I have been experiencing regular Wi-Fi disconnections and, from looking at the journal output I believe the issue may be related to when it is connected to the access point with one of the Wi-Fi 6E 6 GHz bands. I can usually only get it to reliably reconnect after turning airplane mode on and off.

The problem could be related to the access point itself but I thought I’d ask here first since the driver error seems to suggest the problem is at my end.
I did see some threads from a few years ago about problems with Wi-Fi 6E but it seems like most of these were resolved many kernel versions ago.
Is anyone experiencing similar problems and does anyone know of any solutions?
