Yes, I have, thanks. It's kind of annoying that the maintainer said that
firmware more recent than that post made all the problems go away and
superseding the need to do modprobe/power management tricks.
I now have the newest firmware, plus
/etc/modprobe.d/rtl8821ae.conf :
options rtl8821ae fwlps=N
and
/etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default-wifi-powersave-on.conf :
[connection]
wifi.powersave = 2
but still I get dissociations every 10 minutes or so.
It's particularly annoying to see logs like this:
[Sat May 13 12:50:39 2017] wlp4s0: deauthenticated from
14:91:82:2e:8b:51 (Reason: 2=PREV_AUTH_NOT_VALID)
[Sat May 13 12:50:42 2017] wlp4s0: authenticate with 14:91:82:2e:8b:51

14:91:82:2e:8b:51 (capab=0x511 status=0 aid=13)
[Sat May 13 12:50:42 2017] wlp4s0: associated
[Sat May 13 12:50:42 2017] wlp4s0: Limiting TX power to 20 (23 - 3)
dBm as advertised by 14:91:82:2e:8b:51
The network had long be unreachable before the first 'deauthenticated'
at 12:50:39, but there were no log messages given. Then it decides to
reconnect as if nothing had gone wrong previously.
cheers,
