Here is the output from the module loading without wpa_supplicant, then me
reloading it with debug flags, and running ifconfig wlan0 and iwlist
scanning. Still some Microcode SW and FW errors in there, but there's a lot
less noise.

The driver itself is responsible for many of the restarts because of the
firmware errors. A wpa_supplicant log will still be useful.
Could you please give more information about what the system is trying
to do here? In the first log you sent most failures appear to occur when
A band channels are configured ... does this match with what you are
trying to do? Can you explain why the BSSID is all zeroes?
Thanks

Interesting; can you run wpa_supplicant again but dump it's detailed
output using "-dddt" for us so we can see what it's doing and if it's
causing the restarts?
