Should I write a new bug report with the good typo, or is it OK with your

It's ok, nothing else to do, except maybe prompt replies to requests for

However,,, (see below)
* What led up to the situation?
my wifi driver does not work after each update. gnome softawre updates

The kernel should be updated regularly, primarily for security.
I do not agree with automatic updates without my consent, especially for
the kernel.
I disabled gnome-software, because I found this caused my wifi to fail.
It was a work of several days to make it work, since my wificard driver
is not in the kernel (HP laptop). It was again some hours to find the
cause. And I am not a beginner.
A beginner would throw this debian-gnome system out of the windows.
For me the programm should be

I will maybe go to some other less intrusive environment.

I did not find why my wifi driver did not work suddenly.

Gnome-software should not be working by default, and should not
have access to essential softwares.

In Debian stable the kernel upgrades automatically in two cases:
1. Security update *without* ABI change
The Linux image package (e.g. something like
linux-image-4.19.0-13-amd64) has a new version. Such a change should
have no impact on external drivers unless they are buggy.
In this case the package version can be 'pinned', assuming this is
respected by Gnome Software.
2. Security update *with* ABI change
In case the update is more intrusive the ABI changes. In this case
the package linux-image-4.19.0-13-amd64 will be superseded by the
package linux-image-4.19.0-14-amd64.
Because this a new package it will be installed only if you also have
linux-image-amd64 installed, whose only purpose is to "pull" the
latest Linux image package for your release.
If this is what you are seeing then it is usually enough to just
remove linux-image-amd64, while keeping the Linux image package
installed.
Please note the above applies to Debian stable using APT. As far as I
know gnome-software is just a frontend to APT, though I don't know if it
is 100% compatible.
You might want to contact one of Debian's support channels for advice
and update your report accordingly.
