[arch-general] intel-ucode 20220510-1 killed my wifi

[Anton Hvornum]

This might not be related at all but the symptoms sound kind of similar.
The issue I was having is related to
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=212371#c13.

Every X reboots the wifi would re-appear. Depending on which firmware
it was loading.
The workaround was to disable/move the failing firmwares making sure
always the correct one was used.
