Not only GPUs, but also WiFi cards. Got 8265 on Thinkpad T480 and 5G
speeds are awful. When you're trying to download via 5G network
something big - connection interrupts and won't come back until
NetworkManager is restarted, also there are plenty of errors in dmesg.
All fine on 5.0.x and LTS kernel (4.19.x), only 5.1.x are affected.
