Troubleshooting • iwlwifi problem

Good Evening,

I'm trying to get a AX210 working on my RPI5. I'm using raspbian bookworm. I installed firmware-iwlwifi but can't load the module. Looks like it came from the debian repositories. Here's some program outputs. Any advice on getting the right kernel, linking the module properly, or the right firmware would be greatly appreciated. I've downgraded the kernel to 6.1.0-rpi8-rpi-2712 but still no joy.
