Does not apply against current git, as there is no iwl-mac80211.c:

Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?

Is this a load options to iwlwifi module (debug=0x..... at module load time?)
or has to be set in /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy?/iwlwifi/debug/*
somewhere?

You have seen my remark on RX packages and RX bytes?

No. Fixed AP with fixed IP and no special adaptions.

There is AFAIR something that is set after 3hours or so ... not of
importance, but I will check the settings. But then, it was always
working before ;-)

Ok, fine. Thus I can forget about it. THanks.
