I'm not saying there's not a kernel issue, but I'm with bjoern here. The
last maybe half dozen times that wifi broke for me, dating back a decade,
every single one of them has been failure to update /etc/rc files properly
and/or failure to update both userland and kernel and/or corrupting
wpa_supplicant.conf... Given the errors reported, I'd make sure there's a
complete update of /etc files before looking elsewhere.
