@Miroslav, Looking at the iwl driver it has a workaround for a H/W bug that addresses instability on the PCIe bus L0->L0S->L1 transitions and disables L0S. The workaround seems to check the PCI configuration as set by the firmware, hence this may a reason for the bug. Currently I suspect the fol

Miroslav, perhaps it works on the Broadcom Wifi card because it can handle the link request to power it down, where as the other device cannot. From what I understand, the ASPM protocol can power down the link and where possible, devices on the link. I wonder if pcie_aspm=performance will make it
