I asked Camaleón to test the collection again to rule out a fluke.
Still looks ok[1]:

Phew.

Unfortunately a collection including all of those (patches 1-10)
produces lots of reconnects and gnome-shell segfaults:

Thanks.

Camaleón also tried changing the regulatory domain:

If you have questions for Camaleón or tests that it would be useful to
run, I'm all ears.  Unless we hear from you, the next test will
probably be to try patches 1-17, to cut the list of patches that might
have fixed it in half.

Ciao,
Jonathan
