In-kernel version of 5.3.1 works, but provides the same poor latency: if you're not downloading something in the background, ping gets higher and higher from around 5ms to around 100ms, then back to ~5.
By saying 'unusable' out-of-the kernel driver I mean that changes that I made to it (to work with 5.2.X) no longer help to use it with new 5.3.1. It compiles without errors with several fall-thru warnings, but when I modprobe it, dmesg says (as far as I could understand) that the module was unable to load firmware. But modprobe ends with status code = 0. As a result, there's no wireless device shown by ifconfig or iwconfig at all.
