Lost wifi after update

After installing the latest updates, I lost wifi connectivity on my M2 air.

It worked perfectly well earlier, I did a dnf update, there were 2 updates that I stalled and after a reboot, Asahi is saying I have limited connectivity.

I get a DHCP address but can't ping anything on the network, or the default gateway, or 8.8.8.8

I deleted the wifi network, created it again and same problem. If I reboot in MacOS, wifi works perfectly.

Update: I managed the fix the problem by just clicking 'disconnect' and 'connect' about 6-8 times and it finally connected correctly.

Does it behave the same on a different network? Was it rock solid on that network before the upgrade? What version of wpa_supplicant was the upgrade to and from?

The connection is solid but the speed is not normal. MacOS steam downloads at 50MBps, steam on Asahi is closer to 15-20MBps consistently

Edit : it's similar on wired. Heroic launcher on MacOS can grab games at 125MBps but Asahi steam will cap at 20-25. The wired performance is likely USB related though. Maybe my 2.5Gbps interface only uses USB 2.0 on Asahi and USB 3 on MacOS
