Maybe the whole subject on QCA988X cards should be re-evaluated? Since
at this point it's not for certain whether the card is difficult to
support or whether it is damaged.
There was at least one report of QCA988X hw2.0 failing in an identical
way as QCA988X hw1.0. In case it turns out to be hw damage, a fallback
driver mechanism could provide extended lifetime for these cards. A
link to the hw2.0 failure:
