Hello, I have a HP Compaq Presario CQ 60 notebook from 2009, I have this WiFi problem with any GNU/Linux distro: I have to leave the WiFi always active, if I turn it off it doesn't turn on anymore, to restart it I have to restart the notebook.
I currently use Debian Bookworm 12 but in my opinion the problem comes from the Kernel (6.1.0-23-amd64). The WiFi card is a Qualcomm Atheros AR242x / AR542x Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01). Thanks for your attention. Best regards. Richard - Turin (Italy)
