New emergency releases of kernels 6.1.67 and 6.6.6 have happened as of today.

This is a really ugly bug that will cause problems for almost anyone using wifi whether you use in-kernel or out-of-kernel drivers. The out-of-kernel drivers lit up with reports over the weekend. This is not a problem that I can work around in the out-of-kernel drivers so going back to the previously working kernel while waiting for the new releases is your only option.

FYI: It appears the backport of what caused this may have been picked up by Ubuntu so kernel 6.2 and 6.5 maybe have this problem as well but it will be up to Ubuntu to decide how they fix their kernels... example: kernel 6.2 is no longer supported by the foundation so all support comes from Ubuntu.
