After upgrading from Ubuntu 23.04 to 23.10 on a Dell Precision 5560, wifi and bluetooth did not work anymore.
Looking at the dmesg output I saw this:
Direct firmware load for iwlwifi-QuZ-a0-hr-b0-59.ucode failed with error -2
..
Direct firmware load for iwlwifi-QuZ-a0-hr-b0-39.ucode failed with error -2
no suitable firmware found!
minimum version required: iwlwifi-QuZ-a0-hr-b0-39
minimum version required: iwlwifi-QuZ-a0-hr-b0-59

These files did seem to exist in /lib/firmware.
I did sudo apt install linux-firmware/mantic --reinstall
Which did not fix it.

I manually overwrote the iwlwifi... files with the corresponding files from linux-firmware-20230804.tar.gz and this did fix the issue.
I did the same for ibt-19-0-4.sfi and that fixed the bluetooth issue.

So my best guess is that something is wrong in the latest firmware package.
