3.5 days and you call that late? Welcome to Debian, where we're not 
supposed to be surprised if we need to wait weeks or months.

Sorry for not reporting back to this bug. The network issue only 
happened with the old initramfs. Once I was able to use the trixie 
generated initramfs due to the fix found in bug #1107249, not only were 
the storage devices found, but also networking worked. So, something is 
still wrong for the *old* initramfs/kernel, but apparently this bug 
doesn't apply for the full trixie (+ sysconfig-hardware from unstable) 
stack.

In my perception, they were two different issues, but I'm not sure.

I'm *guessing* that the problem is still there when I would boot into 
the old kernel, as the kernel and its initramfs have not been updated. 
However, maybe with the udev now in the right place on disk, maybe it 
works and the issues were just two different symptoms of the same issue. 
I might try that later (no promises, I hate that x3... terminal by now).
