Okay, this is weird. Right now it's still messed up in Windows, but not
anymore in Linux (even though it started while running linux). Dmesg
currently doesn't show any errors for iwlwifi. Does anyone have an idea
what part of the wifi chip could be broken here (driver, firmware, etc.)?

Hi,
After upgrading to linux 5.11.12.arch1-1 I suddenly had no wifi
connection. I immediately tried downgrading again, but to no avail.
Did only kernel version change? 5.11.12 has one iwlwifi related commit:
commit 6159f947fb047fd8ecbfbcbcc86a8337e801bd10
iwlwifi: pcie: don't disable interrupts for reg_lock
It's not the only thing that changed, but this one stood out to me as
the possible cause. Some other things to note are that I sometimes
have to force shutdown my laptop, because of a long time issue in
nouveau. I don't know if this can cause these kinds of issues. And I
want to stress as well that the issue persisted even on another
operating system, so something must have been thoroughly messed up
somehow.
