Intermittent wifi disconnects

Hello,

My Wifi setup is like the following:
- I have a Ralink dongle on my desktop
- It is capable of 2.4 GHz
- Over a period of hours, I see multiple network disconnects that last a few seconds.
- I use NM and it uses wpa_supplicant I think
- The network disconnects show up in browser loading or gaming problems

I get the following errors.

```
Nov 11 01:34:45  wpa_supplicant[567]: wlan0: CTRL-EVENT-SSID-REENABLED id=0 ssid="EE-2CQ5HC"
Nov 11 01:34:45  wpa_supplicant[567]: wlan0: BSSID 60:8d:26:e9:aa:da ignore list count incremented to 2, ignoring for 10 seconds
Nov 11 01:34:45  wpa_supplicant[567]: wlan0: Removed BSSID 60:8d:26:e9:aa:da from ignore list (clear)
Nov 11 01:34:45  wpa_supplicant[567]: MBO: Disable MBO/OCE due to misbehaving AP not having enabled PMF
Nov 11 01:34:45  wpa_supplicant[567]: wlan0: SME: Trying to authenticate with 60:8d:26:e9:aa:da (SSID='EE-2CQ5HC' freq=2437 MHz)
Nov 11 01:34:45  wpa_supplicant[567]: wlan0: SME: Authentication request to the driver failed
Nov 11 01:34:45  wpa_supplicant[567]: wlan0: Added BSSID 60:8d:26:e9:aa:da into ignore list, ignoring for 10 seconds
Nov 11 01:34:45  wpa_supplicant[567]: wlan0: CTRL-EVENT-SSID-TEMP-DISABLED id=0 ssid="EE-2CQ5HC" auth_failures=17 duration=148 reason=CONN_FAILED
```

What is happening here ?

Please post the output of

find /etc/systemd -type l -exec test -f {} \; -print | awk -F'/' '{ printf ("%-40s | %s\n", $(NF-0), $(NF-1)) }' | sort -f

What is happening here ?

The AP gets ignored, immediately un-ignored, the authentication fails (but apparently because your wifi NIC doesn't respond) and then the AP gets ignored again.
If it's not concurrent services, please post your complete system journal for the boot after such disconnects

sudo journalctl -b | nc termbin.com 9999
