I have similar problems getting wifi to work on SHR-U. In my case I get
an address and configure the interface via dhcp, but can not establish
any traffic to the interface. In one case I could ping a host but the
transit time was enormous.

The other thing I note from ifconfig is ridiculous RX and TX values,
almost 1TB on an interface I never have used. Looks to me like a bug
somewhere in the driver code.
