Version: 20250708-1
Severity: grave
X-Debbugs-Cc: venthur@debian.org


With latest update from atheros firmware, the wifi stopped working completely.
I believe the relevant output for dmesg is:

It also does not work with the firmware from unstable (maybe the device is too
new?) but it used to work with some version from experimental.
