AX201 is WIFI card deployed on QubesOS certified Novacustom Nv41, Dasharo+UEFI/Heads compatible HCL. Worked under debian-12 before, not since last dom0 kernel-latest update.

Debian-12 based sys-net, bug just hit me today per last dom0 kernel-latest upgrade.

Thankfully, CDC based tethering through USB and passing android sys-usb device to sys-net permitted me to not disturb my workflow (which is what I used most of the time when roaming anyway with disp sys-net not needing to type any password, since I trust my grapheneos more than my wifi card, when roaming).

Sorry for the rude words, but are certified products, required to install with latest-kernel at install now beta testers of kernel-latest dom0 pushed updates by design @marmarek ?

New kernels don't mix well with debian-12 (old firmware packages)... I guess it's time to enable backports repo at least for the firmware package.

Update firmware packages from bookworm-backports on Debian 12
682fbb2 
Firmware packages in standard Debian repo are too old for recent
kernels, and recent hardware in general. This affects all kernel-latest
versions, but also soon-to-be-default kernel-6.12. This is at least
necessary to support wifi network in NovaCustom laptops, but other
modern systems need that too.
Fresh template builds have firmware from bookworm-backports already
selected, but do that for older versions too.

Thanks @aronowski for the hint on apt properties.
