Upgrading linux-firmware from 20230625-3 to -5 makes 9462ac unusable

9462ac is a wireless card from Intel. When I was using linux-firmware 20230625.ee91452d-3, everything worked fine:

[kernel] [    4.913543] iwlwifi 0000:00:14.3: api flags index 2 larger than supported by driver

While after 20230625.ee91452d-5 installed, no firmware was loaded:

Oh, I reach the AUR page where the build of my kernel comes from, and people have already discussed the same problem (not solved though):

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/linux-lts515

Yeah, you're running an old kernel, things like this are normal. IIRC, someone made an xz compressed version in the AUR.

Okay, I will switch to linux-firmware-xz later. I think this post could be solved.
