The screenshot obviously doesn't give the full history but going by the
code path and the command it last executed ...

... I assume it is the same issue with the up/down/up/.. cycle.

I can normally do it three times before it goes kaboom (and I have a
reproducer for it).

I have also tried to execute the bringup and teardown bits I easily can
in an endless loop which doesn't provoke the firmware to crash.  That
seems to indicate that we may need more state than I can (currently)
easily produce for the endless loop.

I keep poking at selective bits as a background task every other day
currently and I'll try to see what I can do over the holidays on this.

I cannot help much with the installer bits.   If you were to do this
with a non-crashing WiFi chip/driver would you ant any other changes
there?  If so you should probably raise that separately.


Lots of health,
