Getting WiFi to work in 2003
For me, it was getting WiFi to work in 2023

In 2024 on a laptop I still have wifi problems though. Most recently, if I closed and opened the laptop lid (suspend + resume), the wifi hardware just disappeared off the face of the kernel.
Turns out that the
iwlwifikernel module just irreversibly crashes when the laptop suspends and can only be fixed with a reboot.So I had the fun task learning about systemd pre-suspend hooks to unload the driver before suspend and load it again on resume.
Turns out wifi drivers still suck in 2024
