 This is not a problem, wpa_supplicant tries to use SIOCS80211 on all
 interfaces, but it only works on the wifi ones.

 That can happen on every arch. Since the last update wpa_supplicant tries
 to clear keys 5 and 6 where our stack only knows about 4 keys.

 This could be caused by overloading the USB ports. You can supply
 up to 1.2A (6W) to all 4 ports in total, and this requires a PSU
 (like the "official" one) that can deliver 2.5A (12.5W).

 I am actually on low power so maybe that could be a cause ?

 Could be. It depends on your power supply and the actual devices
 that require power. There are reports about high power usage from
 gaming keyboards/mice (obvious) but also audio and wifi devices.
 Gigabit Ethernet is usally 0.5-1.0W, that's rarely and issue.

 Regular PCs, even notebooks usually don't care as there is plenty
 of power compared to an RPI.
