Hello Diederik,

Thanks for your quick reply:

On one of the old Thinkpads in question, running the 5.15 kernel:

          ~ > lsmod | grep iwlwifi
          ~ > lsmod | grep wifi
          ~ >

So I suppose that module is _not_ loaded ...

Nevertheless, I created /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf as root, and:

          ~ > cat  /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
          blacklist iwlwifi
          ~ >

Sadly, this has no effect whatsoever on the 5.16.0-1 kernel.
When trying to boot it it 'hangs' exactly as before.

Thanks all the same, and best regards,
