Title:
Kernel 6.18 (resolute) breaks iwlwifi (again)

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
New

Bug description:
Kernel 6.18.0-8-generic cannot load iwlwifi firmware on Thinkpad X200s
(and presumably other thinkpads with iwlwifi 5000 series wifi
adapters). Kernel 6.17 works.

There is an upstream fix for the issue, that presumably needs
backporting:
