Hi, I'm newly trying out Intel iwd daemon but I experience regular kernel e=
rrors in 4.17, although WPA2-PSK connection remains stable.  These errors d=
on't seem to be experienced with wpa_supplicant.  The errors reliably appea=
r around the following events:
netdev_unicast_notify()
netdev_control_port_frame_event()
netdev_set_rekey_offload()
netdev_set_gtk()

@Denkenz in IRC helpfully suggests Johannes could follow the finger of susp=
icion to this commit:
