So the data point is unrelated to 72.daa05125.0 cc-a0-72.ucode or to 
some other recent intel wifi card. It was my fault that I was not clear 
enough asking for details.

I think, 2 decades ago balance between platform firmware and per-device 
firmware loaded by drivers was different. A few years ago I have seen 
recommendations of intel wifi cards as reliable ones.

In bookworm, driver spits a warning that it can not find a firmware 
file. Actually it is not available and it is impossible to just download 
the "missed" file. It is intended for debugging and one has to request 
it and then has to send gathered data to intel developers. It is 
discouraging from my point of view.
