When the problem first started I was using archlinux, something a year ago or
so, initially I downgraded spa_supplicant and it was unreliable because of the
constant system trying to upgrade the package. I found some people complaining
about this bug in bugzilla, reddit and other forums, it appears to affect old
macbooks with bcm43602, 4331, etc. 
The solution I found was changing to iwd, completely removing wpa_supplicant.

I really don't know if it has any downsides if switching for everyone, but if
there's a way to fix this is enough. I couldn't find a way to install iwd from
a flash drive in KDE Linux. 
The steps I do in arch or any arch based distro to fix is just installing iwd
with pacman, stopping and disabling wpa_supplicant, add iwd as backend in
NetworkManager, enabling and starting iwd.
