Update to the latest firmware using the Linux Mint21.3/LMDE/Debian LTS kernel

[Michael]

Update to the latest firmware using the Debian LTS kernel (Currently 6.1.0-23)

Works on Linux Mint 21.3/LMDE6

No need to load a newer unstable kernel to get your new hardware working.

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

sudo apt install TimeShift

#create a TimeShift snapshot

sudo apt install git -y

cd /tmp

git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git

cd linux-firmware/

sudo cp -va * /lib/firmware/

sudo update-initramfs -u

sudo reboot

This is quite a large download of drivers. I know, no need to tell me about it. If this doesn't solve your driver issues, then Debian just isn't the OS for you.

Also, you can update the drivers along side of any of the Debian kernels, it doesn't have to be with LTS.
