I've had LMDE6 installed since it's release day and everything has been fine. For the past week it's been dropping my wifi card randomly. It is not recognized by rfkill nor lspci after it happens. Only reboot helps.

Does anyone know why it might happen? Kernel is 6.1.0-21-amd64 but I don't know has the kernel been updated recently.

How recent is your computer? Debian based distros, due to their focus on stability tend to have quite old packages, namely kernels

OP said it's been running fine until recently, so I doubt it's the kernel.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
