this is has become a know issue but less harmful, please try to see if
the workaround of disabling power save helps

iw dev wlanX set power_save off


ok! I have set that on the machine.. will see if I get this message in
the upcoming weeks.
Also, please try this patch with powersave enabled:

I will give that a try as well..

Thanks!
