I stumbled upon a weird hotel WiFi which never gets to a fully running
link with iwx0. I see ifconfig is stuck with:
iwx0: flags=808847<UP,BROADCAST,DEBUG,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST,AUTOCONF4> mtu
1500
lladdr xx
index 1 priority 4 llprio 3
groups: wlan egress

wpaprotos wpa2 wpaakms psk wpaciphers ccmp wpagroupcipher tkip
The network is functional as evidenced by the assorted android and
chromeos devices connecting to it.
I start with
$ doas ifconfig iwx0 inet nwid MarlinGuest wpakey <...> debug autoconf
The following gets dumped into dmesg:

I never see "iwx0: sending action to" after this.
Now, to send this email I tether to my cell phone which works much better:

Any debugging clues?
