Oops in rtl8821ae driver when connecting to 802.11ac network

[a1batross]

I use a wireless network card TP-Link Archer T4E, connected to the PCIe bus.

When I'm connnecting to my home 802.11ac network and supplying valid password, it just refuses and throws a trace in dmesg. Looks like around this line: https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.2.14/source/drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtlwifi/rtl8821ae/hw.c#L38

I didn't use this wireless card for a while, so I mostly forgot about this issue. I tried to bisect the change but this bug is so old (coming from 21.xx I believe, after major kernel update), that my system refuses to boot with old kernel for some reason, probably NVIDIA driver related.
