Asus PCI-E card stops working with new Linux kernel 6.7

[plassedon]

Hi, some time ago I bought an Asus PCE-AC58BT wi-fi card for my PC. I am using Debian testing with proprietary repositories/firmware, but the card did not work out of the box..
So I went to Asus website and manually downloaded the proprietary drivers. After restart the card started working properly. Well the Bluetooth is still crashing, but I guess I am missing something as initially I uninstalled all Bluetooth bloat
So I get an icon for Bluetooth and when I turn it on after 2 seconds it disappears.. if I open the Bluetooth manager and turn it on, nothing happens, although my phone has turned Bluetooth on.

Even if that remains unfixed it's passable. But recently I learned that the packages held-back are not going to install some time in the future, because they are not held back for some particular timing, but they are missing some dependencies and so on. So I installed them via the

Code: Select all

sudo nala dist-upgrade

(basically the same as

Code: Select all

sudo apt dist-upgrade

). I restarted and it stopped working. After long debugging, reinstalling proprietary drivers and so on it turned out that the card works perfectly with kernel 6.5, but it breaks with 6.7.
While using 6.7 the

Code: Select all

ip link

command showed the wi-fi card as DOWN state. I tried using

Code: Select all

sudo ip link set wlp5s0 up

, but it always returns RTNETLINK answers: Input/output error.

So for now I use the older kernel, but is there a way to fix the issue on the new kernel by running some command or there is some compatibility problem with the proprietary drivers for example?
