sadly, this does *not* work.

after a week of problems with wireless connection, I'm afraid I do not
have *any* idea which commit caused the problem and I am *just* assuming
that it is kernel related but the kernel did change about that time.

Updates in factory are volumous and frequent and leave no documented
memory trail that I know of.  Can you suggest a way to find the "commit
that caused the problem" or some trouble-shooting method to provide
intelligent information.  This is a *test* machine and I *am* willing to
*test*  :^)

tks for your indulgence.  I am open to reinstalliing via a suggested path. 
Present install is/was an upgrade from 12.1 standare x86_64 to factory:
