I am suspecting sometime after Bookworm is released in June. Certainly
bookworm is using 6.1 kernel (which is a longterm support kernel, which
6.2 isn't). So the kernel version isn't changing until the next release
(typically in 2 years or so if the past is anything to go by). Testing
and unstable will of course get a new kernel much sooner than that.
I would be surprised if support for a new network chip version was
backported to the 6.1 stable tree. Usually only bug fixes get ported
there.
