Solid Intel AX200 Wifi connection chokes on latest kernels

Intel AX200 wifi card issue that is undeniable any longer.
I can reproduce at will.

Two desktop systems working under continuous moderate load running F@H 24x7, the wifi connections are trouble free for approximately one day before locking up with red exclamation mark by the taskbar icon. Disconnect and reconnect do nothing; requires a reboot to restore wifi.

This ONLY happens with kernels 6.11 and 6.12. When I boot with kernel 6.6 LTS the wifi will run days/weeks without issue.

I would gladly provide logs or diagnostic data if someone wiser than I would point me in the direction of where to look and what to ask the systems.

Thanks in advance

Rest assured, you’re not the only one experiencing some difficulty with the AX200.

Please monitor the following threads for information that may be relevant:

If you dual-boot as in the other thread, then make sure windoze is fully shut down (fast start off).

Otherwise, as usualy, some system info makes sense

inxi -Farz

I do have Win11 installed on separate drive. Boot mainly to update anymore, perhaps one or two times a year. Then I ensure a true shutdown and poweroff. But the AX200 Windows power/shutdown issue doesn’t argue against why the problem does not occur while in Manjaro 6.6 boot.

(Thanks to soundofthunder’s first link, I tossed a quick donation to the Manjaro dev team.)

Here is output of inxi -Farz
