 Uwe and Salvatore, 
  
 FYI, this bug affects the Trixie installer (and after installation, 
 too). As soon as the Trixie installer reached the point of detecting 
 network interfaces, my system completely froze with a blinking light 
 on the caps lock key. This was not intermittent; it always happened 
 when I retried. I was only able to proceed by removing 
 firmware-atheros_20250410-2_all.deb from the installer ISO and then I 
 could continue without WiFi during installation (I used a USB ethernet 
 dongle). Now with Trixie installed, I have a stable system with my 
 ath12k cherry-picks on top of stable 6.12 (e.g 
 https://github.com/mdmower/linux/tree/mdm-6.12.41-ath12k ), but that 
 doesn't help others. So, I wanted to make you two aware in case you 
 see other reports of trouble with the ath12k firmware and/or driver in 
 Trixie. Unfortunately, I haven't heard from Baochen Qiang since July 
 2.
