This is really weird. I don't see how that could be firmware related.
BTW, -10.ucode is fairly old :) we have -16.ucode out there.

I can reproduce this now when I unload / load iwlwifi until I kill the
supplicant.
Seems like the wpa_s is indeed toggling the device.
I don't have time to play with that right now.

I guess the question is how we get into this situation to start with?

About the only thing I can imagine is that we fail somehow during
initialization (without printing any other message) and higher layers
like wpa_supplicant/network-manager/... simply try to bring up the
device over and over again?
