wifi issue on bullseye

Dear all,

I am having issues with my laptop wifi (Debian Bullseye). The connection comes and goes making using internet impossible.

I assumed a firmware problem, so I tried several versions of the firmware-iwlwifi.deb package without improvements.

Specifically I tried the versions 20190114, 20210315-3 and currently 20230210-5 from Bookworm.

From the /var/log/messages file I keep finding entries like

while from dmesg

Note that I have several devices connected to the same wifi (computers and phones) with zero issues.

Any experience with this problem?

Thanks and kind regards,
