@You-Sheng, I honestly have been VERY out of the loop on linux
kernel/hardware since the 2.4-2.6 days.  I've been stuck in AWS for
years ;)

Can you verify I'm understanding the situation correctly?  It appears
that the kernel in Eoan contains a driver that contains this issue, and
the backport-iwlwifi package will receive the fix first in the form of a
"much more recent driver from intel" made possible by DKMS?  Is this
interpretation correct?

I'll go ahead and try this PPA and verify if it fixes the issue!

Thinking about it a bit, does this mean that the firmware eaon ships is
incompatible with the upstream kernel's driver, or that the upstream
kernel driver just has a bug?  Are the firmware / kernels tied together,
and how do we get the right firmware that will work with the backport-
iwlwifi packages?

Thanks in advance for the clarification.  Trying to come up to speed
again.
