I am running a headless Bananapipro server that acts as an AP. Recently I found that its WiFi net was gone. In the log I found a crash of brcm:

WiFi could be re-activated by restarting the system.
I shall also note that there are at least once a day messages like this in the log:
Dec 19 22:36:32 localhost kernel: [20143.706800] ieee80211 phy0: brcmf_psm_watchdog_notify: PSM's watchdog has fired!
The system is:
uname -a
Linux bananapipro2 6.6.44-current-sunxi #1 SMP Sat Aug 3 06:54:42 UTC 2024 armv7l GNU/Linux
Are there any hints how to proceed with this issue?
Many thanks,
Thomas
I updated my Armbian on another board, saw the same brcm error an generated the required data, upload is here: https://paste.armbian.de/togofunode
