Package: linux-image-6.12.22+bpo-amd64
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: tails123@live.com
Dear Maintainer,
upon attempting this backported kernel module, with a non-secure-booted system, it does not function with any wifi module, the internal module fails, and I could not get an external wifi module to work either via usb. I don't know why this happens, and I cannot test the ethernet. Hopefully it is fixed in the next verison of 6.12 bpo, have a wonderful day.
P.S, I reverted kernel modules and it connects to the internet on kernel 6.1, which in this case, should obviously state that it functions in circumstances outside of this latest backport kernel. Thank you.

Joseph confirmed offlist that it was actually not a kernel issue but
caused after a BIOS update, resetting the setttings made things work
again.
