Bug Description
On this device, wifi is only usable occasionally on repeated boots when using the 6.3 kernel now included on Ubuntu mantic.
Same applies if I use Lubuntu or another 23.10 (ISO using 6.3) but not with 22.04.2, 20.04 or 23.04 ISOs. I'm seeing this as a regression on the kernel.
PLEASE NOTE: This is the 5th time I've booted this thumb-drive since it was written yesterday and the FIRST of the 5 boots where it worked; thus I've used this "working" boot to file issue (hardware details) EVEN though its working now...
I intend adding more, but at least can use this bug report to track when this issue occurs from now on (wifi is the ONLY networking on this box; so its a problem to report when I have the issue...
If specific details would be helpful, please let me know. Also note I have a Ubuntu mantic desktop install currently on this box; and the issue occurs on installed images and not just LIVE boots; ie. installing Ubuntu Desktop, Lubuntu usually results in a boot that won't have wifi on first boot (thus far I've not had wifi first boot when installs are with 6.3 kernel!)
Why it works after boot an older ISO though on thumb-drive seems strange to me.. maybe it's just luck & I'm seeing a pattern that isn't actually there. This issue I've been aware there since 6.3 kernel in my experience, but on this box/hardware only.
