I’ve been using Manjaro for a couple weeks and suddenly the wifi interface disappears. It happened while I was watching a movie and I am positive it worked prior to starting it. Automatic updates are disabled and I didn’t do anything funny that would cripple the system. The driver (iwlwifi) and kernel modules still show, but not the interface under ifconfig -a. Reloading kernel modules does nothing. Oddly, I get the same problem using the livecd installation medium, so I strongly suspect a firmware issue, even though there were no relevant updates and the problem arose spontaneously in the middle of a session. Please advise.
That sounds more like hardware failure to me. Is a cold boot fixing the interface?

Yeah, seems something went off and the ucode file got corrupted i guess …
Try this from terminal:
cd /usr/lib/firmware
and then run this commands one by one, to get the files:
sudo wget https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/iwlwifi-Qu-c0-hr-b0-66.ucode
sudo wget https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/iwlwifi-Qu-c0-hr-b0-68.ucode
sudo wget https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/iwlwifi-Qu-c0-hr-b0-71.ucode
sudo wget https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/iwlwifi-Qu-c0-hr-b0-73.ucode
Then reboot the system and see if things got better.
Nope. Apparently the firmware didn’t load because dmesg refers to Qu-c0-hr-b0-63.ucode, which isn’t on the list of files you had me download.
ok, well … the file is there tho kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git - Repository of firmware blobs for use with the Linux kernel
So simply modify one of those commands to point to the Qu-c0-hr-b0-63.ucode
After that step it decided to load 62 instead (from 63, from 66) so I decided to copy them all, and it refuses to load any:

I’ve noticed that those files are dated 2022/07/09 whereas the old files were from 2022/06/21, and the newer files are indeed way larger than the older ones.
Edit: Apparently wget messed up the downloaded files (?). I downloaded them via the browser instead and copied them again, but I’m back to square one; it loads 66 and fails.
Edit: I’ve also tried following this: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=205123#c22, downloading the firmware from Intel’s website, but the only difference is that the “ini trigger” is now 16 instead of 13.
Edit: Kept digging and stumbled upon this, but I don’t know what to make of it:
# modprobe iwlmwm
modprobe: FATAL: Module iwlmwm not found in directory /lib/modules/5.15.50-1-MANJARO

The iwlmwm module seems to be there but the system doesn’t see it.
I’ve rebooted an nth time and it suddenly started working again, for no apparent reason; I swear I didn’t change anything for the last few reboots. Let’s just pray it lasts, because apparently prayer is the only thing that works…
Sometimes a simple reboot is not enough, a cold stop and start after the upgrade of the kernel and/or firmware.
