The reason I asked for more dmesg lines is that it likely then tried (f.e.) -81, then -79 and then probably succeeded at some point. The Debian kernel (unfortunately imo) 'promoted' warning/info messages to errors, which make it appear more severe then they actually are. > I think the the root cause is that the current Debian packages firmware > packages are 6 months old and they need to be updated accordingly.

I do think that the old package versions are a problem, so I have been working on Merge Requests for updating them. Version 20230804 would make the -83 file available. But the device using and older version should still work. If it doesn't work with an older version, but it does work with a newer, that's important info. But I'm still a bit confused as this bug is about *realtek* firmware, not iwlwifi? Can you answer the question I asked previously?
