I just upgraded my Framework Notebook with garuda-update to 6.5.2-zen1-1-zen.
After the reboot my WIFI adapter was missing.
Another reboot, still missing. :thinking:

After reading a bit about common Issues I found this.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Framework_Laptop_13#Intel_Wi-Fi_6E_AX210_reset/_low_throughput_/_"Microcode_SW_error"

Even tho it is not really connected to my issue I tried it.
Reboot, WIFI is back. Huh?

Removed the suggested fix again, reboot again, WIFI still there. wtf?
Reboot again, WIFI there.
Reboot again, WIFI missing. WTF?
Reboot again, WIFI is back.

So this issue seems inconsistent, will try some more reboots with the suggested setting.

I will investigate further and keep this thread updated.

Try installing and booting the linux-lts kernel.
There are always issues and small regressions after kernel updates (6.5 in this case).
At a quick look in the kernel bugzilla, there seem to be a few recently closed (so maybe in the next release) and at least one open which could be applicable (it occurred also to a Framework user, who claimed it to be resolved with 6.5.2, but you never can say, if this is inconsistent).
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=217846
Anyway, just stay for a while with the LTS, if it works.

I always have it installed but simply forgot just to do exactly that :smiley: thanks for the reminder.
