I've had LMDE6 installed since it's release day and everything has been fine. For the past week it's been dropping my wifi card randomly. It is not recognized by rfkill nor lspci after it happens. Only reboot helps.

Does anyone know why it might happen? Kernel is 6.1.0-21-amd64 but I don't know has the kernel been updated recently.

Your computer is going into s1 and the driver for your card can’t wake it back up.

    No. It goes off when I'm using it actively. I've never had any issues getting back from hibernate.

    Damn, I thought I had you clocked.

    Getting hot maybe? Some of those baseband chips are downright tiny and can’t really dissipate the heat they build up under heavy use…

    Did you look at dmesg/journalctl to to see what the kernel says when it falls over?

    E: spelling/autocorrect
