Hi Csaba,

Yes I noticed the same issue in heavy iperf3 uplink tests. But that was 
happening to me with firmware 2.4, now with 2.5 and the latest 
board-2.bin it works like a charm. Maybe you need some more patches in 
ath11k? I am using a combination of upstream patches from recent kernels 
and some qca patches. If you want, we can discuss the topic outside the 
mailing list to not spam other people.

Regards,
Jesus.
