Yes, that's an artifact of how I tested: I rebooted the router, the Wi-Fi interface disassociated and the dmesg was clean. However, after the router came up, the laptop didn't reconnect (and the connection had completely disappeared from nmtui). Afterwards, I did the rfkill cycle you see, and only then I got the register dump.

I'm not sure about that, the card was already dead before the rfkill cycle.
Thanks, Rui
