Package: linux-image-5.10.0-8-amd64
Version: 5.10.46-2
Severity: important

Hi,

I just successfully installed the latest version of Debian testing bullseye
on a brand new Dell XPS 15, but I got some issues with the integrated WiFi
card. Of course I installed the non-free firmware.

The Linux image package is linux-image-5.10.0-8-amd64, version 5.10.46-2.

Here is the log (grepped for iwlwifi):

[   14.352938] iwlwifi 0000:00:14.3: enabling device (0000 -> 0002)
[   14.358907] iwlwifi: No config found for PCI dev 43f0/1651,
rev=0x354, rfid=0x10a100
[   14.368948] iwlwifi: probe of 0000:00:14.3 failed with error -22


Then I tried to install the latest kernel version (5.13.6), I built it and
installed, and now the WiFi card works just fine ! Here is the log of the
working kernel:

According to Dell, it's supposed to be "Killer Wi-Fi 6 AX1650 (2x2)" but it
looks like the linux kernel doesn't agree.

While looking at this problem, I found some strange issues.

It looks like that that the lines for this device were in the kernel but
were removed in [1]. I believe that v5.10 includes this change. Could a
simple fix be as simple as adding these lines back? I'l not understanding
this change properly.

It would be great that the next Debian supports this new Dell machine
better!
Please ask any more information if needed.

Thanks!
