Dear all,
I am having issues with my laptop wifi (Debian Bullseye). The connection comes
and goes making using internet impossible.I assumed a firmware problem, so I
tried several versions of the firmware-iwlwifi.deb package without
improvements.Specifically I tried the versions 20190114, 20210315-3 and
currently 20230210-5 from Bookworm.
>From the /var/log/messages file I keep finding entries like

Note that I have several devices connected to the same wifi (computers and
phones) with no issues.
Any experience with this problem?
Thanks and kind regards,Andrea
