A sign you've become a professional kernel developer: your wifi card stops working correctly with new kernels, so instead of debugging/bisecting, you buy a new USB wifi dongle.

@vbabka I think @kernellogger would want whoever this anonymous new pro kernel dev to bisect the regression no?

Though said anon dev might be really enjoying his now functioning wifi connection sitting back, smoking a cigar and laughing??

@kernellogger @vbabka yeah this Storenzo Loakes guy was thinking that I think.

Perhaps Storenzo will try a bisect at some point though at which point a certain T.L. will be cc-d...

@a1ba @vbabka the anon dev's card is an intel card and seemed to break way past 6 so this may be unrelated...

that Storenzo guy should tell this other guy which driver it was, then it might ring a bell now or later in case somebody else reported/reports a similar problem
