(Disclaimer, don't know if it's exactly the same problem).

On one of our DELL Lattitude 5400 laptops the wifi stopped working, giving:

I tried updating firmware-iwlwifi to 20190717-2~bpo10+1, no change

I upgraded to kernel 5.6.14-2~bpo10+1, and hence 
9000-pu-b0-jf-b0-46.ucode which gave more output but still didn't work:

In desperation I booted into windows to see if the wifi worked there, 
and it did.

Then I rebooted Debian and the wifi now works.

It is possible that this problem was caused by the laptop battery 
running completely flat, and the Linux driver or firmware missing some 
initialisation step.
