Problem WiFi

[Riccardo]

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.

I have had some luck with problem WiFi on laptops by setting the acpi_osi
type to one of various windows types on the kernel command line.

You can add it in /etc/default/grub

Remember to run update-grub after editing it.
